Death Valley National Park encompasses much of this high-elevation landscape within the Panamint Range. The map reveals a complex network of steep drainage systems, including the aptly named Surprise Canyon, Happy Canyon, and Sourdough Canyon, which cut through the high desert. Historical activity is signaled by the presence of Arrastre Spring, a name suggesting early mining or ore-processing efforts in the region. Near Panamint Pass, the terrain reaches significant heights at Porter Peak, overlooking the Mojave Desert to the west. The distribution of remote water sources like Six Spring Canyon and Water Canyon highlights the critical importance of these features for anyone traversing Panamint or settling in Middle Park.
