2021 Map of Sourdough Spring

About this map

Sourdough Spring sits within a landscape defined by the steep elevation changes of the Panamint Range and the high-desert corridors of Goler Canyon. This section of the Mojave Desert is notable for its proximity to the southern boundary of Death Valley National Park, where the terrain transitions toward the Panamint Valley to the west. The map records the complex topography of this region at the start of the 2020s, including the wide drainage of Long Valley and the expansive Randsburg Wash Area. Topographic detail reveals the intricate ridgelines and dry washes that characterize this arid environment, providing a technical look at the geological features and public land boundaries between Inyo and San Bernardino counties.
