Nevada, State in western United States
Nevada spans 286,380 square miles of desert terrain, mountain ranges, and valleys between the Sierra Nevada and Wasatch Mountains in the American West.
The discovery of silver in the Comstock Lode in 1859 transformed Nevada from a sparsely populated territory into a booming mining region of the United States.
Native American tribes, including the Paiute, Shoshone, and Washoe peoples, maintain their traditional practices and ceremonies throughout the Nevada territory.
Nevada experiences extreme temperature variations, with summer highs reaching 120°F in southern regions and winter lows dropping below freezing in northern areas.
The Black Rock Desert presents a 200-square-mile dry lake bed that transforms into a temporary city during large-scale gatherings and speed record attempts.
