The high desert terrain of the Desatoya Mountains dominates this portion of the Great Basin, where the border between Churchill and Lander Counties follows the high ridgelines. The landscape is defined by its dramatic drainage patterns, with steep corridors like Skull Canyon and Buffalo Canyon cutting through the upland slopes. These drainages give way to the broader expanses of the Smith Creek Valley to the southeast, illustrating the classic basin and range structure of central Nevada.
