i accidentally left the latitude and longitude in the top right corner before going back and deleting them.

 

[Ben]

Trinity Lakes.
Since Ben wouldn't give us a clue like lat/long like last time I had to resort to the clever, for me, method of color matching the USGS quad coloration in the sample across the entire state of Idyhoe. Took a while. It is interesting that this variation exists like this. I believe it is a result of these being hand drawn at different times in different years by different hands. Is this region technically part of the Sawtooth range, Ben? I will come up with the next map shortly.

Name the valley. One hint: this unworldly place IS on our own world.

 

[Udink]

Nevada Test Site, Yucca Flat.

 

[Artemus]

Here's a super sad one. This mine destroyed a named feature with historical significance that I was just reading about in a book this past week.

solid sleuthing Art. much respect. growing up here i never heard them referred to as part of the Sawtooths, but i can't speak to their technical designation.

Hint: NOT in Death Valley.

But very close.

This is south of Ballarat, CA, in the Panamint Valley, but I don't know what it's called. I found it on Google Earth, but it's not named. I'm going to guess it's a trona mine.
