About this map

Death Valley National Park dominates this arid landscape where the eastern edge of the Mojave Desert meets the rising terrain of the Grapevine Mountains. The map reveals a complex system of alluvial fans and drainage channels, most notably the seasonal Salt Cr winding through the basin floor. Topographical details highlight the transition from the low-lying reaches of Death Valley to prominent high-ground features like the Death Valley Buttes and the striking ridgelines of the Kit Fox Hills.

Transport is defined by the route of State Highway 190, which serves as the primary artery through this desert expanse. Deep incisions in the landscape are evident in Titanothere Canyon to the north and the winding path of Mud Canyon to the southeast, illustrating the erosive forces that shape this protected wilderness. This 2018 survey provides an accurate placement of these geological landmarks within the context of modern national park boundaries.
