A vast land with plenty of room to roam for hikers, riders and campers, with scenic vistas of up to 60 miles. Water is unreliable, however, prepare accordingly.

The nearest major towns and cities are Cedarville, California (30 miles west), Susanville, California (105 miles southwest) and Reno, Nevada (150 miles south). The WSA is bounded by the Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge on the east, and Nevada Highway 34 and private lands on the west. On the south side the WSA is bounded by Nevada Highway 8A, private property, secondary range access roads, and a 750 KV powerline. All secondary roads around that area are rough and infrequently maintained dirt roads. Highways 34 and 8A are well maintained gravel roads, but can be treacherous when wet and in the winter.
