About this map

Death Valley National Monument reaches into the southwestern corner of this Nye County landscape, where the high desert terrain transitions into the wide expanse of Sarcobatus Flat. The desert floor is marked by a prominent Depression and scattered topographic high points, reflecting the arid character of the northern Amargosa region during the mid-1980s. A significant historical corridor is preserved in the form of an Old Railroad Grade running through the northeastern sector, tracing a path that once supported the area’s industrial or transit needs. Evidence of land use is sparse, though a single Corral provides a localized reference point for ranching activity in this expansive basin. The map is defined by its meticulous contouring of the alluvial fans and drainage patterns that characterize the transition from mountainous terrain to the flat valley floor.
