Nevada Basin
The Nevada Basin is the Great Basin area surrounded by river basins and, to the east, the Great Salt Lake basin. The bounding river basins include those of the following : Sevier River, Muddy River, Las Vegas Wash, Colorado River, Mojave River, Amargosa River, Owens River, Lake Lahontan basin, and Snake River. The 1850 diagonal California state lines with the Utah Territory & New Mexico Territory are along the general direction of the Nevada Basin's southwest drainage divide, while the north-to-south rim on the east is through the area of the three meridians used for the Nevada-Utah state line.
