Over 80% of Nevada's land mass is government owned due to size restrictions on homesteads in the state which make life in Nevada almost impossible because of arid conditions in the desert. To get around this, settlers homestead land around a water source, and then graze their cattle in the nearby public land, as it is useless for agriculture with Nevada's minimal water access. While deficiencies in the Nevada Homestead act are probably due to a lack of understanding of terrain conditions, a group of firebrands known as the "Sagebrush Rebels" contend that the act was put it place under pressure from mining companies wishing to keep the land out of the hands of ranchers. This argument is still debated to this day by state historians.

Southern Nevada's largest mountain range is Spring Mountain Range; a little west of Las Vegas. The state's lowest point is south of Laughlin beside the Colorado River.

Nevada's highest points are its 172 2,000 foot mountain summits, ranking it second only to Alaska in the United States, giving it the title "Most Mountainous" state in the continental USA.
