Great Basin

The Great Basin is a large, arid region of the western United States, commonly defined as the contiguous watershed region, roughly between the Rocky Mountains and the Sierra Nevada, that has no natural outlet to the sea. The Great Basin Desert is defined by the extent of characteristic plant species, and covers a somewhat different area. The Great Basin Culture Area, home to the Great Basin tribes also extends further to the north and east than the hydrographic basin.
