About this map

Death Valley National Monument reveals a landscape of extreme elevation shifts and desert hydrology in this late twentieth-century study. The area is defined by the sharp transition from the Grapevine Mountains in the northeast down to the expansive Mesquite Flat and the iconic Sand Dunes near Stovepipe Wells. The presence of Salt Creek and the Cornfield settlement area suggests the critical role of water sources in this arid environment. Surveyors meticulously recorded various bench marks, such as White Bank BM 112.4, alongside small human markers like a solitary Grave and a Picnic Area, highlighting the sparse but meaningful human footprint within the basin. Natural corridors like Mud Canyon and landmarks such as the Kit Fox Hills and Red Top provide essential orientation in a region of shifting sands and complex topography.
