1986 Map of The Dunes

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Panamint Valley serves as the central focal point of this arid landscape, where the shifting topography of The Dunes is documented alongside the sparse industrial remnants of the region. The high desert environment is characterized by dramatic elevation changes, notably where Mill Canyon and Rainbow Canyon descend toward the valley floor. Toward the northern edge of the sheet, the Monument Boundary of Death Valley National Monument marks a transition into protected federal lands. Local mining history is represented by the Big Four Mine, situated near the rugged slopes of the eastern mountains. In the southeastern portion of the quadrangle, Black Lake and the adjacent Black Lake Hill provide specific landmarks for researchers interested in the hydrologic and geologic history of this portion of Inyo County.
