"The Valley of the Mud Lakes" is an 1861 engraving from 1854 Pacific Railroad Survey. The engraving shows the Black Rock Desert looking north from the Selenite Range.
Lorry states that Beckwith crossed the Selenite Range in 1854 and F. W. Egloffstein sketched the surrounding area. Egloffstein's drawings were used as the basis for a steel plate lithograph.[1]
