Basin and Range Province, Physiographic province in Western United States and Northern Mexico.
The Basin and Range Province contains alternating mountain ranges and flat desert basins extending from eastern California to central Utah and southern Idaho.
The formation began 17 million years ago during the early Miocene epoch, when tectonic extension caused the Earth's crust to stretch and thin.
Native American tribes inhabited this region for thousands of years, establishing trade routes through mountain passes and gathering resources from desert basins.
The province includes major cities like Las Vegas, Reno, Salt Lake City, Phoenix, and Tucson, connected by highways crossing the numerous north-south mountain ranges.
The terrain displays a repetitive pattern of parallel mountain ranges rising 3,000 to 5,000 feet above valley floors, with Death Valley marking the lowest point.
