2014 Map of Springdale SW

About this map

Death Valley National Park reaches into the southern portion of this desert terrain, where the high-altitude topography of the Mojave Desert meets the expansive drainage of Sarcobatus Flat. The landscape is defined by its dramatic elevation changes, notably at Coba Mtn in the north, where the terrain drops away into the vast alluvial fans of the basin floor. This 2014 survey captures a remote section of Nye County where the arid environment dictates the land use, showing a region largely untouched by development and preserved within the boundary of one of the nation's most iconic protected areas. The intricate contour work illustrates the complex desert pavement and drainage patterns typical of the Great Basin's southern reaches.
