2021 Map of Teels Marsh

About this map

The high desert terrain of Mineral County is defined by the stark expanse of Teels Marsh, a salt pan that dominates the western half of this survey. To the north, the small settlement of Marietta sits at the base of the Excelsior Mountains, which rise sharply along the northern and eastern borders of the quadrangle. The landscape is marked by the critical importance of water in an arid environment, evidenced by named water sources such as German Spring, Company Spring, and Rock House Spring.
