1950 Map of Ubehebe Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Ubehebe Peak dominates the high desert landscape of this 1950 survey, marking the transition between the vast Saline Valley and the northern reaches of Death Valley National Monument. The map documents a rugged interior economy defined by isolated mining operations and the critical placement of water sources in an arid environment. Notable extraction sites including the Ubehebe Mine, Lost Burro Mine, and Ulida Mine are connected by unimproved trails to remote springs such as Big Dodd Spr and Spanish Spring. The distinct geology of The Racetrack and the prominent limestone outcrop of The Grandstand define the central valley floor, while the southern portion of the sheet reveals the high-altitude terrain of the Nelson Range and Hunter Mountain. This survey is particularly useful for locating named water features like Jackass Spring and Blackrock Well, which were essential for prospectors and early travelers navigating the Lee Flat and Racetrack Valley corridors.
