2021 Map of Thimble Peak

About this map

Leadfield stands as a focal point in this high-elevation survey of the Grapevine Mountains, where the steep drainage systems of Titus Canyon and Fall Canyon cut through the arid terrain. Located within Death Valley National Park, the landscape is defined by the sharp relief of the Amargosa Range, including prominent summits such as Thimble Peak and Corkscrew Peak. The presence of reliable water sources like Klare Spring and Lostman Spring underscores the survival challenges of this Mojave Desert environment. This modern topographic study by the U.S. Geological Survey maps the complex network of footpaths, including the Thimble Peak Trl and Titanothere Canyon Trl, which navigate the dramatic vertical change between Red Pass and the canyon floors.
