1985 Map of Wingate Wash West

About this map

The Death Valley National Monument dominates the eastern landscape of this mid-1980s topographic study, where the arid terrain meets the Owlshead Mountains. This region serves as a significant intersection of administrative and geographical boundaries, clearly marked by the San Bernardino Meridian and the Naval Reservation Boundary. To the west, the U S Naval Reservation restricts access to vast stretches of high desert. The map captures the natural drainage patterns of the area, most notably the winding path of Wingate Wash as it descends through Long Valley. This provisional edition provides a precise look at the topographical contours and survey lines that defined this portion of the Inyo and San Bernardino County line before modern digital mapping, preserving the specific designation of the monument and military lands as they stood in the early 1980s.
