1988 Map of Wildrose Peak

About this map

Harrisburg anchors the northwest corner of this desert landscape, situated near the expanse of the Harrisburg Flats. During the late twentieth century, this region within the Death Valley National Monument remained a site of significant geological interest, marked by numerous mining operations and high-elevation peaks. The topographic detail highlights a history of extraction with the Napoleon Mine and Argenta Mine nestled among the steep ridges. Vertical relief is dramatic, rising from deep incisions like Wood Canyon and Nemo Canyon to prominent summits including Bald Peak and the namesake Wildrose Peak. To the east, Aguereberry Point offers a vantage over the vast drainage networks of Death Valley Canyon and the South Fork, illustrating the complex erosional patterns of the Inyo County highlands.
