1957 Map of Ubehebe Crater

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Death Valley National Monument reveals a stark desert landscape defined by volcanic activity and the isolated outposts of the northern Mojave. The dramatic Ubehebe Crater and its smaller neighbor, Little Hebe Crater, dominate the southwestern terrain, serving as primary geological landmarks. Near the Grapevine Mountains, the presence of Scottys Castle and Scottys Ranch indicates the mid-century development of this arid region, supported by water sources like Grapevine Springs. Historical boundaries are prominent, including the Von Schmidt Line (1872) which traces an earlier survey of the Nevada California border. To the north, Gold Mountain is marked by numerous mining features such as a Shaft, Tunnels, and several Prospects, illustrating the era's persistent search for mineral wealth amidst the alluvial fans of Oriental Wash.
