Really interesting to compare that to the modern imagery and see how the course of the river has shifted a bit.

Rincon Peak, which fittingly enough, is in the corner of Saguaro. Good one!

That's Telescope Peak in Death Valley. Jail Canyon, just NW of the peak has some interesting recent history: https://www.nps.gov/deva/learn/news/dangerous-marijuana-grow-site-discovered-in-jail-canyon.htm

Here's one that may be familiar to many of you. Name one of the canyons in the middle.

Hannaupah Spring is a critical water source for hikers on the Lowest to Highest route. A few years ago they busted a grow operation in that canyon and started warning hikers not to drink it because of pesticide contamination. But everyone drinks it anyway and haven't reported any ill effects...

I thought maybe the country on the map referred to Ernie's Country, but my iPhone screen is too small to check the maps.
