About this map

Death Valley National Park occupies the southern portion of this high desert landscape, where the northern reaches of the Mojave Desert meet the Great Basin. The terrain is dominated by the broad expanse of Sarcobatus Flat, an alkaline basin surrounded by shifting contour lines that indicate the subtle drainage patterns of the region. Standing as a prominent landmark in the north is Cobo Mtn, providing a stark contrast to the surrounding desert plains. Of significant interest to local historians is the Old Railroad Grade Road, which cuts diagonally across the southwestern corner. This linear feature follows the path of former rail infrastructure that once served the remote mining districts of Nye County, offering a tangible link to the early industrial transport networks of the Nevada desert.
