Re-Discover Nevada 2000
This project highlights six Nevada
"territories" through words and images: Reno/Tahoe Territory
which borders the scenic eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada
mountain range; Las Vegas Territory, home to the most exciting
city in Clark County and world-renown for its gambling and
entertainment; Pony Express Territory, home to Great Basin
National Park and U.S. Highway 50, the Loneliest Road in
America; Cowboy County, famous for trailblazers, wagon trains,
cattle drives and poetry gatherings; Pioneer Territory, the
south central heartland of Nevada and home to the newly
designated Extraterrestrial Highway; Indian Territory, a
territory without geographic borders which celebrates the
ancient and rich cultures of Nevada's native American
tribes.
