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.
