1987 Map of Sand Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The high-desert terrain of the Last Chance Range dominates this 1987 survey, sloping steeply down toward the basin floor. This environment is defined by its scarce water sources, notably Sand Spring and the nearby Little Sand Spring, which serve as vital landmarks in an otherwise arid expanse. The map covers a significant borderland, recording the intersection of the California Nevada state line and the Esmeralda and Inyo county boundaries. Moving through the drainage of Death Valley, the landscape is carved by seasonal watercourses like Oriental Wash and Cottonwood Creek. Human presence is sparse but evident through a single identified Prospect and a Borrow Pit, suggesting small-scale material extraction or exploration in these remote reaches during the late twentieth century.
