Literature Cited:
Lower Walker River to the east. | Adams (2007) study of Walker Lake sedimentary environments presented a detailed overview of the different sedimentary environments and stratigraphic sequences observed in outcrops along the margins of paleolake basins and showed how these can be used to reconstruct past lake-level fluctuations, using the Walker Lake basin as an example. This paper presented a new late Holocene lake-level curve based on radiocarbon ages of different sedimentary environments exposed in outcrops along the lower Walker River. Late Holocene sedimentary environments along the lower Walker River include fluvial, deltaic, beach, and offshore settings that migrated laterally over a distance of ~20 km as lake levels fluctuated through a vertical range of ~55 m.

| SodavilleAlso known as Soda Springs, reached by the Carson & Colorado Railroad on December 1, 1881, was a resting place, a popular resort, and a major freighting point.Astragalus lentiginosus Douglas var. sesquimetralis (Rydb.) Barneby, the Sodaville milk-vetch, was previously listed at Threatened by the US Fish and Wildlife service in 1992. The taxon occurs at (Big) Sand Spring, Inyo County, California, Sodaville, Mineral County, Nevada, and Cold Springs, Nye County, Nevada. Following incorporation of the Sand Spring site into Death Valley National Park and action to protect the population from wild burros, the Fish and Wildlife Service withdrew the proposed rule to list the taxon as Threatened (Fish and Wildlife Service, 1998).
