1950 Map of Wingate Wash

About this map

Indian Ranch and the rugged eastern slopes of the Panamint Range dominate this mid-century desert survey. The landscape is defined by the stark transition from the high peaks of Sugarloaf Pk down through Anvil Canyon and Warm Canyon toward the southern reaches of Death Valley National Monument. Isolated water sources like Warm Spr and Mesquite Spr provided critical anchor points for early settlement and mining operations in this arid environment.
