The Silver State's geography includes rugged mountain peaks bounded by sapphire lakes to teaming wetlands and sprawling desert basins. Nevada is the most arid state in the United States, with many areas receiving less than ten inches of precipatation annually. It has more diversity in topography than most other states with elevations ranging from the 470 foot Colorado River border to 13,140 foot Boundary Peak. Nevada is the most mountainous state with more than 150 mountain ranges, and has the largest percentage of federal land a huge 85%.

Nevada's population is continually expanding with most of its 1,000,000 residents living in Reno and Las Vegas. This makes Nevada one the Nation's most urban populations.

The great basin desert covers parts of five states including two-thirds of Nevada. John C. Fremont named this sprawing expanse the Great Basin because its streams and lakes drain inward, and none is connected to the ocean or to any of the nation's great rivers.

The contours of Nevada's Great Basin have been shapped by glaciers, volcanoes, earthquakes, rainstorms, and spring runoff. It is a land of more than 100 basins separated by nearly 150 mountain ranges. It lies in the rainshadow of the Sierra Nevada and Cascade ranges. These ranges shields the Great Basin from Pacific storms and leaeve Nevada with cold winters, hot summers, and less rainfall than any other state.
