Saratoga Springs Lying in the remote southeastern corner of Death Valley
National Monument, this thermal spring is one of the few places where permanent
water is found in the drainage of the Amargosa River. A subspecies of the Amargosa pupfish, Cyprinodon
nevadensis nevadensis, is endemic to this spring, and is of zoogeographic
interest because of its isolation. Vegetation in the area of the spring includes that of
the alkali-sink association and the rare Cordylanthus tecopensis is found here. Integrity: Relatively
undisturbed, though the area needs protection from campers and bathers. Use: Research,
observational, educational. Ref: Moyle,
Peter, 1976. Inland Fishes of
California, University of California Press, Berkeley-Los Angeles, 405 pp. December 1976
