1952 Map of Stovepipe Wells

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Death Valley (Depression) dominates this early 1950s survey, illustrating the stark geographic transition from the high Grapevine Mountains to the low expanse of Mesquite Flat. The map highlights the localized infrastructure required for desert travel and habitation, centered on the Stovepipe Wells Hotel and its adjacent Landing Strip. Significant landmarks like the Old Toll Road and various Jeep Trails snake across the terrain, connecting isolated water sources such as Midway Well, Triangle Spring, and the non-potable McLean Spring. The intricate contour work reveals the complex drainage patterns of Mosaic Canyon and Mud Canyon as they empty into the valley floor. This period of the Death Valley National Monument history reflects a landscape defined by its rare springs and the rugged paths established by early prospectors and travelers.
