2018 Map of Springdale SW

About this map

Death Valley National Park extends into the southern reaches of this Nye County landscape, where the extreme arid environment of the Mojave Desert meets the high desert flats of Nevada. The topography is dominated by the broad, open expanse of Sarcobatus Flat, a characteristic basin formation that defines the local geography. Rising in the northern section, Coba Mtn provides a significant vertical landmark against the lower valley floors. This 2018 survey documents a largely undeveloped wilderness, preserving the natural drainage patterns and topographical contours of a region primarily defined by its environmental extremes and federal protected status. The absence of significant human infrastructure highlights the primitive character of the terrain at the edge of one of America's most famous national parks.
