| Title: | ALLUVIAL FAN IN DEATH VALLEY |
| Caption: | Along the western foot of California's Black Mountains this alluvial fan formed where a stream leaves a canyon and expands outward into Death Valley. The bent line in the lower left is a road that cuts across the lower part of the fan. Infrequent floods on this fan drain into the white salt flats of Death Valley seen in the upper and lower left.
