2015 Map of Thimble Peak

About this map

Leadfield sits as a primary point of interest within the high-elevation terrain of Death Valley National Park, where the Grapevine Mountains meet the Amargosa Range. This 2015 survey details the topographic extremes of the California-Nevada border, tracing the steep descent from the summit of Thimble Peak and Corkscrew Peak into the depths of Titanothere Canyon. The map records vital water sources in this arid environment, including Klare Spring and Lostman Spring. High-altitude crossings like Red Pass provide the primary corridors through the jagged peaks that separate the Mojave Desert from the main basin of Death Valley. The inclusion of township and range grids facilitates precise location of historical mining claims and land surveys in this protected landscape.
