Clumps of Arrowweed appear as shocks of corn in a harvest field. The presence of the plant growing on the sandy mounds indicate a shallow water table (only 5 feet).

The Devil's Cornfield is located along Highway 190 between Stovepipe Wells and Beatty Junction (just east of the sand dunes). The plant that gives the area its unique appearance is an evergreen plant, arrow weed (Pluchea sericea). As the common name implies, the plant's woody stocks were used by Native Americans to make arrows.
