2012 Map of Shore Line Butte

About this map

Ashford Junction serves as a critical point of orientation in this arid landscape where the Amargosa River winds through the southern reaches of Death Valley National Park. The topography is defined by significant elevations and drainage systems, including the prominent Ashford Peak and the geological formation at Shore Line Butte. Water sources are sparse but notable, with Scottys Spring and Timpapah Spring appearing as vital landmarks in the desert terrain. The drainage patterns are clearly etched into the earth through Wingate Wash, Jubilee Wash, and The Narrows, illustrating how flash floods and seasonal flows have sculpted the environment. These features, along with the volcanic presence of Cinder Hill, reveal a complex geological history preserved in this 2012 survey.
