The Panamint Range is a short rugged fault-block mountain range in the northern Mojave Desert, within Death Valley National Park in Inyo County, eastern California. Dr. Darwin French is credited as applying the term Panamint in 1860 during his search for the fabled Gunsight Lode.[3] The orographic identity has been liberally applied for decades to include other ranges.
The origin of the name is the Paiute or Koso word Panümünt or Pa (water) and nïwïnsti (person).[4][5]
