2021 Map of Ryan

About this map

Ryan stands as a focal point in this high-altitude desert landscape, situated within the vast expanse of Death Valley National Park. The settlement is positioned on the edge of the Mojave Desert, where the drainages of Furnace Cr Wash cut through the arid terrain. This 2021 survey reveals a complex network of geological formations, including the Funeral Mountains and the Amargosa Range to the north, while the Black Mountains and Mt Perry dominate the southwestern quadrant. The transport infrastructure is defined by the winding path of Dantes View Road and the Mount Perry Trl, providing access to elevated overlooks like Travertine Point. The map illustrates the harsh topographical transition from the deep troughs of Greenwater Valley to the heights of the Greenwater Range, reflecting the extreme elevation changes characteristic of this portion of Inyo County.
