This point shapefile represents 38 terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) survey scan locations collected by single-base real-time kinematic (RTK) global navigation satellite system (GNSS) surveys in Grapevine Canyon near Scotty's Castle, Death Valley National Park, from July 12-14, 2016. Data were collected by two Topcon GR-3 GNSS receivers at one-second intervals for three minutes for each location.

This polygon shapefile represents estimated flood-inundation areas in Grapevine Canyon near Scotty's Castle, Death Valley National Park. Estimates of the 4, 2, 1, 0.5, and 0.2 percent annual exceedance probability (AEP) flood streamflows (previously known as the 25, 50, 100, 250, and 500-year floods) were computed from regional flood regression equations. The estimated flood streamflows were used with one-dimensional hydraulic models to compute water surface elevations that were mapped on a digital terrain model of the study area. Those locations where the water surface was higher than the land surface were defined as inundated. The inundation polygons are named by AEP flow (4, 2, 1, 0.5, 0.2-percent) and geometry...

Gower Gulch at the north end of the Black Mountains. Borate-bearing fanglomerate partly sheared across steeply tilted borate beds. Basalt flow in playa clays in the distance. Mine portal at left of center. Death Valley National Park, California. 1938. Panorama in two parts. Photo 48 and 49. (see ttp00049)

Olivine gabbro boulders weathered from fanglomerate in the Salt Creek Hills to the east of the Panamint Mountains. Death Valley National Park, California. 1938.

Death Valley National Park, California. Tubular orifices in the fine sediments at Salt Springs near the north side of Borax Camp allow discharge of water to the valley floor. Light areas are accumulations of salts from previous discharges. Circa 1960. Figure 10, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 494-B.

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. 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.

In support of paleoclimatology investigations, samples of mammillary calcite, calcitic folia, and flowstone were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey in Devils Hole and Devils Hole Cave 2, Nevada, between 1983 and 1996. These samples came from about 60 m below to 9 m above the modern water table in these caverns. To determine δ18O and δ13C time series spanning the interval 567.7–4.5 ka, more than a thousand samples were milled and analyzed for their δ18O and δ13C values. To determine time-series ages, more than a hundred samples were analyzed using uranium-series dating. Many of these measurement results have not been published. Herein, we provide previously unpublished δ13C and δ18O values, and we provide unpublished...

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. Concentric rings of the Death Valley salt pan. View is northwest from Dantes View. Badwater is in the lower left corner. Gypsum in the sulfate zone forms the crescentic deposit in the lower left center. Rock salt of the chloride zone extends over several square miles in the left center. Shoreline features of the Holocene lake that deposited the salts are plainly seen cutting across the toes of the fans on the far side of the valley. Photo by H.E. Malde, circa 1960.

Death Valley National Park, California. Wood post shattered by salt, an example of evaporation effects on the salt pan. This wood post, 3.5 feet long, was set in the flood plain of Salt Creek about 1910; ground level was at the lower edge of the bulge. Water rising in the wood evaporated at ground level and burst the wood with precipitated salts. Drawn by J.R. Stacy from photo, circa 1960. Figure 15, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 494-B.

Death Valley National Park, California. Burial mounds are numerous on the gravel fans near the Death Valley III and Death Valley IV sites. This was identified as a Death Valley IV mound; the Death Valley III ones are similar. Circa 1960.
