2012 Map of Shoshone

About this map

Shoshone stands as a vital desert outpost in this 2012 survey, defined by its relationship with the ephemeral Amargosa River and the critical water source at Shoshone Spring. The landscape reveals a complex network of geological and historical features, from the dramatic Dublin Hills to the uniquely named Castle in Clay landform. Modern infrastructure like the Shoshone Airport and Old State Hwy 127 connects this remote corner of Inyo County to the wider Mojave. The map detail highlights how the terrain of Greenwater Valley and Dublin Gulch shapes the path of desert travel along routes like Furnace Creek Wash Rd, illustrating the persistence of this small community in a demanding environment.
