| This image shows the vicinity of Artist Drive and the Devils Golf Course
as it existed in 1948. The trace of the West Side Road can be seen in
the lower right hand corner where it crosses the Devils Golf Course, the
name for the saltpan in central Death Valley. The white trace of the active
valley trunk stream can be seen across the bottom of the image. It is
white primarily because of salt (halite) deposition, whereas the older
deposits are dark because of dust, organic residues, and other mineral
impurities in the salt. Scale (1:48,000). [Note: Hit the "back" key to return to the previous tour image.] |
