2015 Map of West of Eagle Mountain

About this map

Death Valley National Park encompasses much of this arid landscape, where the shifting sands of the Mojave Desert meet the rising elevations of the Greenwater Range and the Amargosa Range. The terrain is defined by extreme relief and sparse infrastructure, typical of this section of Inyo County. The intermittent flow of the Amargosa River cuts through the eastern edge of the quadrangle, serving as a primary hydrologic feature in a region where water is a rarity. Human presence is limited to remote corridors like Petro Rd, which provides one of the few points of access into this protected wilderness. The map details the complex topography of the desert floor and its surrounding mountain flanks, illustrating the stark isolation of the California-Nevada borderlands.
