The Smoke Creek Desert dominates the eastern landscape of this Washoe County region, where the arid basin floor meets the subtle elevation changes of the high desert. Settlement and movement in this environment have long been dictated by water, evidenced here by the namesake Hog Spring and Wall Spring. These isolated water sources are critical landmarks in a landscape defined by the low-lying wetlands of Buffalo Slough.
