The California Emigrant Trl cuts across this high desert landscape, tracing the historic movement of pioneers through Churchill County. This 2011 survey illustrates the continued relevance of this corridor, where modern infrastructure like highway 95 follows the general path of mid-19th-century travel. The volcanic terrain is defined by the Upsal Hogback, a prominent geological formation that rises above the surrounding basin.
