1951 Map of Ubehebe Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

Ubehebe Peak dominates this high-desert portion of Death Valley National Monument as surveyed just after the mid-century. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the deep floor of the Saline Valley (Depression) and the towering heights of the Grapevine Mountains. Mineral extraction and exploration are central to the area's history, marked by remote sites like the Lippincott Lead Mine and Lost Burro Mine. High-altitude water sources were critical for prospectors and travelers, evidenced by remote points like Jackass Spring and Blackrock Well. The curious geology of Racetrack Valley is captured here, including the distinctive landmark known as The Grandstand.
