2018 Map of Tin Mountain

About this map

Tin Mtn stands as a prominent summit within the high-altitude landscape of the Cottonwood Mountains, where the elevation changes dramatically across the northern reaches of the Mojave Desert. This 2018 survey detail shows a transition between the craggy peaks and the alluvial drainages that feed into Death Valley. Within the boundaries of Death Valley National Park, the map traces the deep incisions of Bighorn Gorge and the ephemeral watercourses of Little Grapevine Cr and Death Valley Wash. The topographic detail illustrates the classic basin and range structure of Inyo County, providing a clear picture of the landforms that define the eastern edge of the state as they were mapped in the early 21st century.
