Tosa Konoki

The Tuscarora Mountains extend north from the valley of the Humboldt River in the northern Great Basin. Ridges and dry basins succeed one another across this rugged country, inhabited by Shoshone and Northern Paiute peoples. Families used the mountains and valleys at different times of year, gathering plant foods and hunting game. The Humboldt, flowing west along the southern edge of the range, connects this upland country with other valleys farther across the basin.
