The Reese River valley lies between mountain ranges in central Nevada, close to the Shoshone Mountains and the Ione valley. Western Shoshone people knew the canyons and springs of this country by distinct names, including places associated with pinyon trees and warm water. Pinyon nuts gathered in the surrounding mountains were an important food. The Reese River flows north through this dry basin country, where streams and springs break up the sagebrush landscape.
