Carico Lake Valley and the Red Mountains define this high-desert basin in Lander County, Nevada. This topographic study emphasizes the critical role of water in an arid environment, documenting numerous vital water sources such as Elephant Head Spring, Stone Cabin Spring, and Whaley Spring Number Two. The land is deeply carved by drainage systems like Rattlesnake Canyon and Stone Cabin Canyon, which funnel seasonal runoff toward the ephemeral Carico Lake and its surrounding flats.
