Believe Death Valley Was Once a Lake Bed
In support of the view that Death Valley in California was once the bed of a lake, traces of an ancient water line are found along enclosing mountains at about 600 feet. The valley bottom lies 200 feet below sea level. The arid heat and dry winds from the Pacific drive moisture from four mountain ranges. The former lake is believed to have been fed by a vanished river, with borax deposits holding commercial value despite extreme water scarcity.
