2021 Map of Wingate Wash East

About this map

Death Valley National Park dominates this portion of the Mojave Desert, where high-elevation terrain transitions between the Inyo and San Bernardino county line. The landscape is defined by the steep, intricately contoured slopes of the Owlshead Mountains, which rise sharply from the desert floor. Drainage patterns in this arid region are primarily shaped by Wingate Wash, which cuts through the northwestern corner of the quadrangle. This 2021 survey illustrates the stark preservation of this protected wilderness, highlighting the complex network of ridges and canyons that characterize the eastern Mojave. The map detail reflects a region largely untouched by modern infrastructure, focusing instead on the natural topography and the legal boundaries of township and range sections that overlay the desolate mountain terrain.
