Death Valley National Park, California. Typical stand of burroweed near the road along Furnace Creek Wash, above Corkscrew Canyon. This shrub grows on the high parts of the gravel fans above the main stands of creosote bush. Burroweed grows in washes between bare surfaces on the fans with desert pavement. Commonly, desert holly grows along the sides of the washes, and burroweed on the bottom. Photo by J.R. Stacy, circa 1960. Figure 18, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 509. Sketch of photo.

Death Valley National Park, California, circular pattern due to collapse of salty mud into a pool of salty water. These structures are common to the flood plain in the vicinity of the salt pools. Photo by J.R. Stacy, circa 1960. Figure 37, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 494-B. Drawing of photo.

Desert holly (Atriplex hymenelytra),the most drought resistant shrub in Death Valley. The ash of the leaves contains 30 to 35 percent of sodium chloride. Death Valley National Park. Inyo County, California. ca. 1960. (Photo by J. R. Stacy)

Death Valley National Park, California. Saltgrass (Distichlis stricta) is common around the edge of the salt pan where the water in the ground contains no more than 3 percent salts. Photo by J.R. Stacy, circa 1960. Figure 19, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 494-B. Sketch of photo.

Death Valley National Park, California. East at Tule Spring. In the foreground is pickleweed growing on salt-crusted silt; the content of soil salts is about 15 percent. The shrubs in the middle distance are arrowweed; soil salts there are about 10 percent, and the ground water contains only 0.2 percent salts. Behind the arrowweed is mesquite on ground containing less than 1 percent salts. The gravel fans beyond the mesquite have a mixed growth of desert holly and creosote bush, about fifty of each per acre. Hanaupah Canyon and Telescope Peak are in the distance. Photo by J.R. Stacy, circa 1960. Figure 27, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 509. Sketch of photo.

Death Valley National Park, California. Lumpy mammillary growths of gypsum on a spring-fed marsh. The lumpy forms grow to 8 to 10 inches in diameter. The interiors are composed of damp granular gypsum; the walls or crusts are cemented with sodium chloride. In wet seasons, the chloride may be largely flushed out of the marsh and transported in solution to the central part of the valley. In dry seasons, the chloride becomes deposited on the gypsum. Good examples may be seen in the marshes just north of Badwater. Photo by J.R. Stacy, circa 1960.

Album caption and index card: Part of panorama of west side of Capitol Reef taken from just west of Danish Hill. Looking northeast toward break in reef, made by Fremont River. Geologic units include Moenkopi Formation as dark evenly bedded rocks in lower part, Chinle Formation as light colored slopes largely covered with large blocks, Wingate Sandstone as steep as smooth cliff, Kayenta Formation as more irregular and broken cliff forming skyline to left of photo, and Navajo Sandstone as white pinnacled cap in center background. Cliff of Wingate is 320 to 350 feet high. Capitol Reef National Monument, Wayne County, Utah. April 1964. Note: Panorama with sjr00536, sjr00537, and sjr00358.

Album caption and index card: Kayenta Formation along Cohab Canyon. Black cobbles and boulders are lava; similar boulders cover benches and slopes locally, particularly near Fremont River. Thse boulders have had a long history of movement by streams and by gravity down slopes toward east. Nearest present outcrops of similar lava are on Boulder Mountain about 12 miles to southeast and about 5,000 feet higher. Capitol Reef Monument, Wayne County, Utah. April 1964.

Death Valley National Park, California. Furnace Creek Formation at the north end of the Black Mountains. View is southwest and west of Zabriskie Point, an overlook by Highway 190 about 3 miles up Furnace Creek Wash from Furnace Creek Inn. The base of the Furnace Creek Formation is at the topographic break between the badlands and the rougher, higher ground in the distance on the left. Light-colored playa beds about 2,500 feet thick extend to the base of a conglomerate which forms the dark cliff at the right. The beds are dipping to the right (north) into the Texas Spring Syncline. The center of the photograph looks west across Death Valley to the Panamint Range at Aguereberry Point; Tucki Mountain on the right....
