Death Valley Described as a Harsh Desert Plain
The San Francisco Cat explains Death Valley’s name from its desolate, waterless, alkali-rich landscape in Inyo county. It notes salt marsh center sections, bitter saline water, extreme heat with 90 degrees in January, and a landscape scarred by wind and storms, with a lone black goat seen in summer.
