Shores of Walker Lake (1924)
Photogravure
Portfolio XV plate 534

"Walker Lake, in the western corner of Nevada, is one of numerous saline lakes remaining from a great inland sea that once covered western Nevada and northeastern California. Although there is no outlet, the water is not too saline for the thriving of trout and suckers, which were taken on bone hooks, with double-pointed spears, and in gill-nets." -Curtis
