1996 Map of Saddle Peak Hills

About this map

Saratoga Springs and a series of vital desert water sources define this late-twentieth-century landscape where the Death Valley basin meets the Silurian Valley. The map documents a critical hydrologic corridor featuring the Amargosa River and Salt Creek, alongside named points like Amargosa Spring and Sheep Creek Spring. A single Prospect near the western edge serves as a reminder of the region's mineral exploration history. The terrain is dominated by significant sand formations, including the Ibex Dunes, Dumont Dunes, and Little Dumont Dunes, which are accessible via the unpaved Dumont Dunes Road. This survey captures the eastern boundary of Death Valley National Park as it was established during the 1990s, illustrating the complex topography of the Saddle Peak Hills and Sperry Hills.
