Beatty is an unincorporated town along the Amargosa River in Nye County in the U.S. state of Nevada.

State Route 374 connects Beatty to Death Valley National Park, about 8 miles to the west. Before the arrival of non-indigenous people in the 19th century, the region was home to groups of Western Shoshone. Established in 1905, the community was named after Montillus Murray Old Man Beatty, who settled on a ranch in the Oasis Valley in 1896 and became Beatty's first postmaster.

    Badwater Basin is an endorheic basin in Death Valley National Park, Death Valley, Inyo County, California, noted as the lowest point in North America, with a depth of 282 ft below sea level. Mount Whitney, the highest point in the contiguous 48 United States, is only 84.6 miles to the northwest.The site itself consists of a small spring-fed pool of bad water next to the road in a sink; the accumulated salts of the surrounding basin make it undrinkable, thus giving it the name. The pool does have animal and plant life, including pickleweed, aquatic insects, and the Badwater snail.

  • 3. Ubehebe Crater Death Valley National Park
    Ubehebe Craters is a volcanic field in California. In northern Death Valley, it consists of up to 16 craters in a 3-square-kilometre area. The largest of these craters is the 800 metres wide and 235 metres deep Ubehebe Crater, but many of these craters are partially buried and thus poorly recognizable. Additional volcanic features present include a remnant of a scoria cone as well as a tuff cone. The Ubehebe Craters are associated with a fault system that runs across them. The region has been affected by volcanism for the last 10 million years. The volcanic field is part of the Death Valley National Park and is accessible to tourists. The fault system is within the tectonically active Basin and Range Province physiographic region Various estimates have been put forward for the age of the c...
