Death Valley - Cottonwood Canyon - 1971
Old direction sign that once stood at the junction of Cottonwood and Marble Canyons in Death Valley National Monument, taken in January 1971. These particular porcelain enamel signs were placed by Inyo County under direction of the State of California "Desert Guideposts" project and date back to 1906-1908. These signs were in place prior to the Auto Club of Southern California signage that appeared in the 1910s. Unfortunately, this sign has been stolen or removed, so I guess its safe to post it here now. Scanned from a Kodachrome slide.
