1998 Map of Telescope Peak

USGS Topo · Published 2002

About this map

Telescope Peak dominates this high-altitude landscape within Death Valley National Park, where the steep eastern slopes drop toward the basin floor through a series of dramatic drainages. The map details the complex terrain of the Panamint Range, including the North Fork, Middle Fork, and South Fork of Hanaupah Canyon. Human activity in these elevations is centered around historical industrial sites and remote camps, notably the Charcoal Kilns near Wildrose Canyon and higher-elevation retreats like Mahogany Flat Campground. Researchers can trace the path from Rogers Peak through Arcane Meadows to Bennett Peak, following a ridge system punctuated by vital water sources such as Hummingbird Spring and Hanaupah Spring. The presence of unnamed prospects and rugged landmarks like Jail Canyon suggests a history of exploration and mining interest in this vertical environment.
