About this map

Death Valley National Park encompasses the central portion of this 2015 landscape, where the southern reaches of the Panamint Range meet the arid expanse of the Mojave Desert. The topography is defined by significant elevation changes, transitioning from the high peaks in the north down toward the alluvial fan of Wingate Wash. This drainage corridor serves as a primary geographical feature, cutting through the terrain between the northern mountains and the Owlshead Mountains to the south.

Boundary lines for Inyo and San Bernardino counties divide the region, highlighting the remote nature of this borderland. Further south, the map reveals Long Valley and the course of Wingate Pass Rd, illustrating the few established routes through this complex geological environment. The surveyor's grid provides a rare human-imposed structure over a landscape otherwise shaped by desert washes and seasonal water courses.
