1985 Map of Wingate Wash East

About this map

Owlshead Mountains dominate the southern landscape of this mid-1980s topographic survey, where the high desert terrain meets the complex geology of the Death Valley National Monument. The map documents a sparsely populated but geographically significant area defined by dramatic elevation changes and dry drainage systems. One of the most prominent hydrologic features is the Wingate Wash, which cuts across the northern section of the sheet. To the south, the ephemeral Lost Lake sits as a distinct basin within the arid environment. This provisional map also clearly delineates the administrative and political geography of the region, specifically the National Monument Boundary and the dividing line between Inyo Co and San Bernardino Co, providing essential context for land management and historical research in this corner of the California desert.
