User:Mmcannis/sandbox/Valleys of the Central Nevada Desert Basins

Shaded relief map of Humboldt River region, northern Nevada. (north perimeter, Central Nevada Desert Basins)

Valleys of the Central Nevada Desert Basins. Three valleys are on the southwest Nevada border; one is in the Walker Lake Basin. Death Valley is in the middle, not of the central deserts. Northeast is the Antelope Valley (California-Nevada) into the East Walker River. The other 2 valleys are south of Las Vegas, on the north perimeter of the Mojave National Preserve of California – Pahrump Valley & Ivanpah Valley.

Some of the Central Nevada Desert Basins are on the south or southwest perimeter of the Humboldt River watershed-(basin).

CNDB points extend into the Mojave Desert.

For the similar list about Great Basin landforms in Nevada along the Upper Snake River Basin, see Great Basin Divide in north Nevada.

The Central Nevada Desert Basins subregion (USGS Huc 1606) is a contiguous set of 15 Great Basin watersheds that drain into Nevada. The perimeter drainage divide of the subregion includes a serpentine section of the Great Basin Divide near the Utah state line (triple point with Great Salt Lake & Lower Colorado-Lake Mead subregions) to the California state line (Piute Watershed).

Triple Divide Points-Eldorado Valley divide transect

The excursion of the Great Basin Divide-(see new map at Central Nevada Desert Basins), from the Spring Mountains, then to (north)-Ivanpah Valley-(north of Roach Dry Lake & Ivanpah Lake, further south), then to (endorheic) Eldorado Valley, results in a series of Triple Points, abbr. TP; they occur mostly around Eld. Valley. ( ? )
