Walker River, Brook in Mineral County, US
Walker River flows through western Nevada, with geographical coordinates of 39.078552 latitude and -118.908391 longitude, creating a natural waterway system.
The river received its designation from explorer Joseph Reddeford Walker, who established segments of the California Trail during the 19th century exploration period.
Northern Paiute communities maintained connections to the Walker River area before European settlers arrived, developing methods for water resource management.
The river provides essential irrigation water for agricultural activities in Nevada, although water flow has decreased due to extensive agricultural usage.
The water system connects to Walker Lake, which experienced a 160-foot water level reduction between 1882 and 2010 due to agricultural diversions.
