Wikipedia: The Great Basin is the largest area of contiguous endorheic watersheds in North America. It spans nearly all of Nevada, much of Oregon and Utah, and portions of California, Idaho, and Wyoming. It is noted for both its arid climate and the basin and range topography that varies from the North American low point at Badwater Basin to the highest point of the contiguous United States, less than 100 miles (160 km) away at the summit of Mount Whitney. The region spans several physiographic divisions, biomes/ecoregions, and deserts.

The first formal migrant party to cross what's now Nevada's Great Basin en route to California left Independence, MO on May 8, 1841. They arrived at the base of Mt Diablo in California on Nov 4, 1841. The first of many undocumented Americans in Mexico. https://t.co/zCxTbBAuwR pic.twitter.com/s3YABitXFl
