About this map

Marietta stands as the primary outpost on the northern fringe of this arid landscape, accompanied by a small Cem and a Landing Strip during the late 1960s. The geography is dominated by the vast Teels Marsh (Depression), a low-lying basin framed by shifting Sand Dunes and the rising slopes of the Excelsior Mountains.

The presence of scattered Tailings and a Prospect suggests a history of mineral exploration in the basin and surrounding hills. Water remains a critical element of the local topography, marked by a series of named desert water sources including Company Spring, German Spring, and Rock House Spring. Access throughout the terrain is largely restricted to a Jeep Trail, reflecting the isolation of this corner of Mineral County.
