2018 Map of Wingate Pass

About this map

Wingate Pass serves as a critical geographic threshold between the high-elevation terrain of the Quail Mountains and the lower reaches of Panamint Valley. This 2018 survey documents a region defined by its extreme topography, where the seasonal drainage of Wingate Wash cuts through the desert landscape. To the north, Long Valley and Brown Mtn dominate the horizon, while the southern portion of the map transitions into the vast Mojave Desert. The sparse infrastructure consists primarily of isolated desert tracks, including New York Canyon Rd and Goldstone Rd, which highlight the area's role as a remote corridor through the California desert.
