skip to main skip to sidebar Rickety Contrivances of Doing Good Science Fiction. Progressive Christianity. And Other Improbable Optimisms. Saturday, October 07, 2006 A Nevada Geography Lesson Labels: Nevada Yesterday, Jill Roberts from Tachyon sent me Paul Di Filippo's introduction to my story collection. It's a lovely introduction, full of graceful compliments and flattering comparisons to writers people have actually heard of (Sturgeon! Bradbury! Emshwiller! Chiang!), and I'm very happy with it. But Paul did make one big mistake. Describing my story "Going After Bobo," which takes place in Reno, he said that the story was set in Las Vegas. This error makes Renoites see red. (It's red neon, of course, but it's still red.) Reno is not Las Vegas. It's not a suburb of Las Vegas. It's not anywhere near Las Vegas. It's three-hundred-plus miles north and four thousand feet higher. Look at the map above. Starting at the top left corner, go down the western border of Nevada until it bends. Right above that bend, you'll find Reno. Now continue following the western border until you're almost at the bottom of the state. Vegas is way down there, see? Confusing Reno with Vegas is very much like confusing San Francisco with Los Angeles: the cities are about the same distance apart, and have some other rough similarities, too. Compared with their southern counterparts, Reno and San Francisco are both much smaller and prettier. Vegas and Los Angeles specialize in bewildering size and sprawl.

The rivers in the southeast belong to the Colorado River system, while those of the extreme north drain into the Snake. Like the Humboldt, most Nevada rivers go nowhere, ending instead in desolate alkali sinks : except where they have been diverted for irrigation and reclamation, as by the Humboldt project, the Newlands project, and the Truckee River storage project. The alkali sinks and arid stretches clothed with sagebrush and creosote bush typify Nevada's landscape. Its mountain chains generally run north and south, further segmenting the state.
