Bound on the northwest by Last Chance Canyon and Last Chance Range, on the west by Telescope Peak in the Panamint Range, on the east by Dantes View in the Black Mountains of the Amargosa Range, and on the southeast by the Avawatz Mountains at Silurian Valley.
• According to a 1960 letter requesting the origins of the name Death Valley, they referenced the 1906 decision which referenced a National Geographic article which had the words Death Valley in the title. But the letter concluded that the original use of the name may never be known.
