About this map

Salsberry Peak and the southern reaches of the Black Mountains dominate this 2015 survey of the Death Valley National Park interior. The landscape is defined by its arid hydrology, where seasonal drainage systems like Rhodes Wash, Bradbury Wash, and Buckwheat Wash carve through the complex geology of the Amargosa Range and Ibex Hills.

Critical water sources, essential for early travelers and desert survival, are marked throughout the peaks, including Montgomery Spring, Salsberry Spring, and Sheephead Spring. State Route 178 provides the primary transit corridor, crossing through Salsberry Pass and connecting with the Furnace Creek Wash Rd. This modern map details the high-altitude terrain of the Mojave Desert fringe, documenting the precise topography of landmarks like Sheephead Mtn and Ibex Peak.
