Patelka 1947 Oct. 12 Emmiti to NW Nevada.

Along the Calif.-Nev. line, to the east of the three lake beds in eastern Modoc County, there is a long mountain range along the crest of which juniper woodland occurs. It becomes more barren southward with only scattered patches of woodland at the lower end of Lower Lake. Then, along the road across the state line, toward Gerlach, one passes out of the main valley of the three lake beds across a pass along which there is juniper woodland. This would seem to be another avenue of dispersal from the main Warner Mountain axis. To the south of the Gerlach road (route 81), more or less parallel to it and running in a southeastward direction is a tongue of juniper woodland extending 15 miles or more into Nevada. About 2/3 of the distance between the state line and Gerlach, we passed over another low pass, on the east side of which there was sparse juniper woodland. From this pass we had our first full view of the Granite Range, a
