2014 Map of Wahguyhe Peak

About this map

Wahguyhe Peak stands as a prominent landmark in this high-elevation corner of the Amargosa Range, straddling the border of Death Valley National Park. The landscape is defined by its dramatic topographic relief, where the steep descents of Titus Canyon and Fall Canyon cut through the Grapevine Mountains toward the Mojave Desert floor. These deep drainages indicate the erosional forces at work in this arid environment, creating corridors that have historically served as difficult passage routes through the range. Essential water sources are scarce but recorded at scattered locations such as Brier Spring, Alkali Spring, and McDonald Spring. The map clearly delineates the administrative boundary between Nye and Inyo Counties, as well as the state line separating Nevada and California, providing a precise look at how these geopolitical borders bisect the high desert peaks and canyons.
