This is the northern most-segment of the Argus Range that is still in
Searles Valley. It covers everything from Homewood Canyon north to Water
Canyon. The road to Bruce Canyon starts at the mouth of Homewood Canyon
(just look for some trash bins on the north side of the road). The two dirt roads shown at
the north part of the map are right off the highway. The one leading to the
McDermott Area can be accessed from a couple turn offs from the highway. The
last of these is just yards from the pass between Searles and Panamint
Valleys. The road leading to the unnamed mine is a little more difficult to
find, but it's about a half mile south of the road leading to the McDermott
Area. (This last road is likely to be closed by the BLM at some point in the
near future, but it was still open last time I checked.)
