2018 Map of Ryan

About this map

Ryan sits along the steep eastern slopes of the Black Mountains, a location defined by the dramatic topography of Death Valley National Park. This 2018 survey documents a region where water is a rare and vital landmark, evidenced by Lemonade Spring and the drainage of Furnace Cr Wash. The landscape is framed by several distinct ranges, including the Funeral Mountains to the north and the Greenwater Range to the east, which flank the wide expanse of Greenwater Valley. High-altitude features like Mt Perry overlook the Mojave Desert floor, while Dantes View Rd winds through the terrain to reach prominent overlooks. This map illustrates the transition from the rugged mountain peaks to the alluvial washes that characterize this portion of the park.
