2021 Map of Tecopa

About this map

The Amargosa River carves through this arid landscape, anchoring the settlement of Tecopa and its surrounding desert basins. This 2021 survey illustrates a region defined by groundwater and thermal activity, where Tecopa Hot Springs and Grimshaw Lake provide vital water sources in the Mojave Desert. The topography reveals a complex network of geological formations, from the steep Nopah Range in the northeast to the dramatic relief of Amargosa Canyon and The Palisades in the south. For local historians and genealogists, the map identifies the Tecopa Cem and established routes like Furnace Creek Rd and China Ranch Rd. These tracks connect the valley floor to landmarks such as The Bowl and The Meadows, showing how local infrastructure navigates the Sperry Hills and Alexander Hills along the boundary of Inyo and San Bernardino counties.
