Shorelines of ancient Lake Manly are preserved in several parts of Death Valley, but nowhere is the record as clear as at Shoreline Butte.
Several lakes have occupied Death Valley since the close of the Pleistocene Epoch 10,000 years ago, but these younger lakes were quite shallow compared to Lake Manly.

  Lake Manly - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lake Manly was a large freshwater lake which filled the Death Valley (United States) basin prior to the dry climatic period which has prevailed since the last ice age.
Lake Manly receded due to increased evaporation, and to isolation from the Colorado River system, to which it was once connected.
Lake Manly is named in honor of William L. Manly, who was among the original "Death Valley" party in 1849.

 Zabriskie Point - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Millions of years prior to the actual sinking and widening of Death Valley and the existence of Lake Manly (see Geology of the Death Valley area), another lake covered a large portion of Death Valley including the area around Zabriskie Point.
During several million years of the lake's existence, sediments were collecting at the bottom in the form of saline muds, gravels from nearby mountains, and ashfalls from the then-active Black Mountain volcanic field.
Manly Beacon was named in honor of William L. Manly, who along with John Rogers, guided members of the ill-fated Forty-niners out of Death Valley during the gold rush of 1849.

 Why Owens Lake is Red (DesertUSA)
During the late 1800s, a steamship crossed Owens Lake to carry lumber, mine timbers, charcoal and other supplies to the east shore, where it was packed up to the Cerro Gordo Mine near the crest of the Inyo Range.
If samples of the red brine from Owens lake are spun in a high speed centrifuge at 5,000 rpm, the water becomes clear as the red bacterial cells are forced to the bottom under about 3,000 g's.
The gleaming red salt flats of Owens Lake can be quite spectacular in the early morning or late afternoon of summer, but not nearly so beautiful as the enormous blue Owens Lake that once filled this deep, sunken valley between the massive Sierra Nevada and Inyo ranges thousands of years ago.

Pink salt lakes and playas, and the bright red evaporation ponds of salt recovery plants along their shores, are among nature's most remarkable biological phenomena, and occur in arid regions throughout the world.
he amount of salt in a lake or sea is often expressed as a percent, and refers to the total grams of dissolved salts in 100 milliliters of water.
The percent salinity may vary in a salt lake or playa, depending upon where the water is tested, such as close to freshwater springs or a river inlet.

 Matt Artz Photography: Death Valley...By Kayak???
Today, this former lake is mostly a dry salt pan, known as the home of Badwater (at 282 feet below sea level, the lowest point in the western hemisphere).
We had heard that the lake was very shallow, and that we may have to walk the kayaks out quite a way until it was deep enough to float.
It was a totally surreal experience, seeing this 4 by 5 mile lake where there wasn't supposed to be more than a few shallow pools of water, framed by typical Death Valley geologic features tot he east and the snow-covered Panamint Mountains to the west.

These lakes, and other smaller lakes and rivers in the area, provided abundant fish; and the region was rich in woolly mammoth, giant bison and equally giant ground sloths, and other now extinct ice age game animals.
As Lake Lahotian essentially evaporated, all of the salts and minerals in what had been a freshwater lake concentrated dramatically.
And while Utah's Great Salt Lake has no extent fish, the less saline Walker and Pyramid lakes, along with a few scattered smaller lakes, are inhabited by a hardy and beautiful species of trout known as Lahotian Cutthroats.

Lake Tecopa probably began drying and receding by 100,000 years ago, but Lake Manly still filled Death Valley only 10,000 years ago.

Lake Mojave Period, 10,000-5000 B.C. Claims have been made for archeological assemblages dating to times earlier than the Lake Mojave period, but all are debatable and have little or no known relationship to later cultural developments in the Mojave Desert.
However, the Lake Mojave complex, which is considered to be a Paleo-Indian assemblage by most archeologists, is also thought to be ancestral to the early Archaic cultures of the Pinto period.
Sites of the Lake Mojave period are nearly always limited to the surface, and it is possible that two or more assemblages are represented at some of these sites.

As the glaciers retreated from the Sierra Nevada at the end of the last ice age, Death Valley became a lake filled with abundant water and life.
It encompasses the lowest point in the Western Hemisphere at 282 feet below sea level, and it is the driest place in North America with an average rainfall of only 1.96 inches a year.
This valley is also a land of subtle beauties: Morning light creeping across the eroded badlands of Zabriskie Point to strike Manly Beacon, the setting sun and lengthening shadows on the Sand Dunes at Stovepipe Wells, and the colors of myriad wildflowers on the golden hills above Harmony Borax on a warm spring day.

At Indian Wells, it is believed that desperate members of the Manly party, of Death Valley fame, stopped for water as they sought help for their stranded companions.
However, as the accompanying figure illustrates, the relationships of different flows to valley downcutting during Pleistocene times of high runoff of glacier melt water explains the sharp cliff face without the need of faults (Nelson, 1980).
The Owens River was a powerful agent of erosion as it carried glacier melt water from the Sierra Nevada to its eventual destination at Lake Manly in Death Valley.

These periods of high lake level coincided with the high precipitation epochs when large glaciers were common in the Sierra Nevada Range of California.
The first lakes settled coarser sediments and started the evaporative concentration of mineral and organic matter.
During most periods with lower precipitation Searles Dry Lake was the terminus of the Owens River and the mineral and organic matter carried by the River accumulated in the lake waters.
