Show Figure 1 ( left). Regional map showing Lahontan basin and nearby pluvial lakes, selected shoreline elevations in meters, and areas of the largest middle Pleistocene ( medium shading) and late Pleistocene lakes ( light shading, Lahontan; dark shading, other pluvial lakes). Queried arrows on drainages show possible links between basins during highest lake stands; dashed lines show possible enlarged area of Lahontan basin. BR, Black Rock Desert; SC, Smoke Creek Desert; W, Winnemucca; BM, Battle Mountain; GS, Granite Springs Valley; R, Reno; CC, Carson City; WL, Walker Lake; RM, Rhodes Salt Marsh. Figure 2 ( below). Preliminary correlation of late Pliocene and Pleistocene lacustrine deposits and shorelines in western Nevada. Bold letters are identified tephra layers: L, Lava Creek; Rp, Rye Patch; B, Bishop; G, Glass Mountain; T, tuff of Taylor Canyon; H, Huckleberry Ridge; LS, La Salida tuff of Kettleman Hills.
