2012 Map of Ryan

About this map

Ryan and the nearby Ryan Widow stand as central points of interest in this arid corridor of Death Valley National Park. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling Furnace Cr Wash, a drainage feature that dictates the path of Furnace Creek Rd as it snakes through the terrain. This 2012 survey illustrates the sparse but critical water sources and topographic markers essential for navigating the region, including the curiously named Lemonade Spring tucked away between the peaks. Rising above the desert floor, Mount Perry and Travertine Point provide significant vertical relief and serve as natural landmarks for those traveling along Dantes View Rd. The mapping reflects a modern era of park management where access roads and natural washes are the primary infrastructure in an otherwise undeveloped expanse of Inyo County.
