Northern Basin and Range ecoregion
Northern Basin and Range ecoregion, Vast sagebrush ecoregion across Oregon, Nevada, Idaho and California, United States.
The Northern Basin and Range stretches across 110,039 square kilometers of land characterized by wide valleys between parallel mountain ranges.
The region's southern border aligns with the maximum shoreline of Pleistocene Lake Bonneville, which once covered substantial portions of the Great Basin.
The Bureau of Land Management oversees extensive public lands where livestock grazing represents the primary human activity in this high-elevation desert region.
Natural springs and wetlands distribute water resources throughout the landscape, supporting both regional wildlife and agricultural activities despite the arid conditions.
The western section maintains internal drainage patterns while eastern waterways connect to the Snake River system, creating distinct ecological zones within the region.
