Description:

From Wikipedia: This hard lava cap has retarded erosion in many places and possibly explains why Manly Beacon, the high outcrop to the right, is much higher than other portion of the badlands. Manly Beacon was named in honor of William L. Manly, who along with John Rogers, guided members of the ill-fated Forty-niners out of Death Valley during the gold rush of 1849. 

From GNIS:

• Manly Falls 
• Named for William Lewis Manly, who played a large part in the Death Valley Party of 1849, and who refers to this fall in the account of that expedition in "Route of the Manly Party of 1849-1850 in Leaving Death Valley for the Coast", John E Wolff, 1931.
• On the west slope of the Panamint Range, the most northern, and highest of five, falls 1.6 km (1 mi) of the mouth of the Redlands Canyon.
