Bronze relief situated on top of the State of California historic landmark located just outside Furnace Creek Resort in Death Valley.
The accompanying marker test reads:
"Through this natural gateway the Death Valley '49ers, more than 100 emigrants from the Middle West seeking a shortcut to gold fields of central California, entered Death Valley in December 1849. All suffered from thirst and starvation. Seeking an escape from the region, two contingents went southwest from here, while the others proceeded northwest."
