Encompassing nearly the entire state of Nevada, southeastern Oregon and a small portion of western Utah, the Great Basin is defined by the fact that none of its watersheds drain to any ocean. Water from its alpine-forested mountain ranges flows into arid, sagebrush-covered desert basins occasionally forming lakes, most of which are seasonal and dry up to create cracked, dusty playas by summertime.
