2021 Map of Panamint

About this map

Panamint sits high in the Panamint Range, a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes where the Mojave Desert meets the eastern boundaries of Death Valley National Park. This 2021 survey reveals a complex network of steep drainage systems, including Suprise Canyon Creek Wild and Scenic River and Frenchmans Canyon. The map provides a clear record of historical and modern access points, showing the Porter Mine Rd winding toward the high peaks and the Hungry Bill's Ranch Trl crossing the rugged interior. Significant landmarks like Porter Peak and the remote Arrastre Spring emphasize the difficulty of the terrain, while labels like Mormon Gulch and Magazine Canyon hint at the mining and settlement history of this high-altitude desert environment.
