About this map

Wahguyhe Peak stands as a prominent high point in this 2018 survey of the borderlands between Nye County, Nevada, and Inyo County, California. Much of the landscape is dominated by the steep, eroded drainages of the Grapevine Mountains and the northern reaches of the Amargosa Range. The terrain is characterized by a stark network of canyons, most notably Titus Canyon and Fall Canyon, which reveal the complex geology of the Mojave Desert.

Remote water sources such as Brier Spring, Alkali Spring, and McDonald Spring provide critical reference points in an otherwise arid environment. This map illustrates the intersection of federal and state jurisdictions, where Death Valley National Park encompasses a significant portion of the high-desert topography. The survey provides precise contouring of the ridges and washes, from the depths of Phinney Canyon to the summits along the state line.
