Nevada's Lakes and Reservoirs

Nevada's hydrology spans from the massive man-made reservoirs of the Colorado River to ancient terminal lakes and high-altitude alpine basins. This collection features major landmarks like Lake Mead and Pyramid Lake alongside the remote, often seasonal playas of the Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge. These bodies of water serve as critical wildlife habitats, irrigation sources, and recreational hubs for fishing and boating across the state's arid Great Basin landscape.
