Nevada & California North | ITMB 2021

The USA is one of the most challenging countries to map due to its strong identification with state boundaries.

Highlights of Nevada

Nevada is mostly desert-like and lightly populated, but it boasts several remarkable features:

• Major urban areas: Las Vegas and Reno, extremely popular travel destinations.
• Hoover Dam: One of the seven wonders of the modern world.
• National park: Home to 5,000-year-old pine trees.
• Lake Tahoe: America’s second deepest lake.
• Mountain peak: The eighth highest in the USA.
• Nellis Air Force Range: The biggest air force bombing range in the world.

Northern California Coverage

The map is double-sided, with northern California featured on the reverse side. This region includes:

• Death Valley: Part of the Mojave Desert.
• Yosemite National Park: A natural treasure.
• Sequoia trees: Found in the far northeast corner.
• Man-made wonders:
  • The Golden Gate Bridge.
  • Highway 1 along the Big Sur coastline.

Nevada is a valuable addition to ITMB’s growing line of state maps; after all, it’s about the size of France!
