Humboldt Sink and the northern reaches of the Fortymile Desert dominate this Churchill County landscape. The terrain is defined by the hydrologic terminus of the Humboldt Lake basin, where water management is evidenced by the presence of the Humboldt Dike and the Lower Humboldt Drain. These features represent the complex interaction between the arid desert environment and the historic efforts to control the terminal flow of the Humboldt River system.
