Empire stands as the primary settlement on this Nevada landscape, situated where the high desert floor meets the rising peaks of the Selenite Range. This 2014 survey documents the area's vital water sources, which are critical in such an arid environment, including Texas Basin Spring, Double Spout Spring, and Rocky Point Spring. The geography is defined by the contrast between the vast, flat expanse of the Black Rock Desert to the northwest and the prominent elevation of Selenite Peak.
