1988 Map of White Top Mtn

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The high ridges of White Top Mountain and the Cottonwood Mountains dominate this 1980s landscape within the Death Valley National Monument. The area is defined by its arid geology and scattered water sources, which were vital for early exploration and mining. Isolated springs, including Burro Spring, Quartz Spring, and Rest Spring, punctuate the high-elevation terrain, providing rare points of reliable water. The network of 4wd routes suggests a history of difficult access, while several Prospects and a Mine point toward the mineral interest that drew people to these remote canyons. Deep geological cuts like Bighorn Gorge and Perdido Canyon carve through the mountains, while a solitary Corral and Dry Bone Canyon in the south reflect the sparse human imprint on this protected California desert landscape.
