Some information about Furnace Creek in Death Valley National Park:
Death Valley National Park, located on the California–Nevada border east of the Sierra Nevada, is the largest national park in the contiguous United States. It encompasses Death Valley, the northern part of Panamint Valley, the southern portion of Eureka Valley, and much of Saline Valley.
The park lies at the crossroads of the arid Great Basin and Mojave Deserts, preserving the northwest corner of the Mojave Desert. Its diverse landscape includes salt flats, sand dunes, badlands, valleys, canyons, and mountains.
Death Valley is not only the largest national park in the lower 48 states but also the hottest, driest, and lowest. It contains Badwater Basin, the second-lowest point in the Western Hemisphere and the lowest point in North America, sitting 282 feet (86 meters) below sea level. Over 93% of the park is designated wilderness.
The park is home to a variety of desert species that have adapted to its extreme environment, including creosote bushes, Joshua trees, bighorn sheep, coyotes, and the endangered Death Valley pupfish, a species that has survived since much wetter times. In 1984, UNESCO recognized the park as the centerpiece of the Mojave and Colorado Deserts Biosphere Reserve.
The area has a long history of human habitation. Native American groups have lived here for thousands of years, with the Timbisha tribe being the most recent inhabitants around 1000 AD. They migrated between winter camps in the valleys and summer grounds in the mountains. The name "Death Valley" was given by a group of European-American explorers who became lost in 1849 while searching for a shortcut to California’s gold fields. Although only one member of the group died there, the valley's harsh environment inspired its grim name.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, several boom towns sprang up to mine gold and silver, though the most profitable ore was borax, which was extracted using the famous twenty-mule teams. The region also inspired numerous books, radio programs, television shows, and films.
