2015 Map of Tin Mountain

About this map

Tin Mtn stands as the prominent peak in this high-elevation landscape of Inyo County, situated where the northern Panamint Range meets the Cottonwood Mountains. Located entirely within Death Valley National Park, the terrain transitions from the arid flats of the Mojave Desert into steep, dissected ridges. The map captures the remote infrastructure of the park during the 2010s, centered on the unpaved corridor of Racetrack Valley Rd. This thoroughfare provides the primary access through the desert valleys, connecting high-country basins to the drainage systems of Little Grapevine Cr and the wider Death Valley Wash. The survey illustrates the stark land-management boundaries of the early 21st century, showing the precise township and range divisions that overlay this protected wilderness area.
