2021 Map of Silurian Valley

About this map

Silurian Valley serves as a stark desert corridor between the towering Avawatz Mountains to the west and the northern reaches of the Soda Mountains to the south. This 2021 survey documents the complex alluvial drainage patterns of the Mojave Desert, where ephemeral watercourses like Salt Cr and Riggs Wash create wide, fan-shaped deposits across the valley floor. The map highlights the essential transit routes through this arid landscape, primarily following Death Valley Rd as it cuts northwest toward the national park boundary. Other significant arteries include Silver Lake Rd and Riggs Rd, which provide access to the remote township corners of T16N and T15N. The layout of Powerline Rd further indicates the modern infrastructure threading through this ancient geological environment.
