The Field Atlas
0/363Desert chapter · 40.05° N · 119.56° W
A remnant of Lake Lahontan. Turquoise water, tufa, and a limestone pyramid standing in the lake.
The lake is the Paiute’s. Cui-ui live nowhere else. The pyramid is tufa over a vent. From the east shore the water is a color the Great Basin is not supposed to have.
