The world: historical and actual . It is arugged mining region with Oregon and Idaho onthe north, Utah and Arizona on the east, and Cali-fornia on the west. The State is wedge-shapedrunning to a peak in the south. Of all the states inthe Union Nevada is most dependent upon its goldand silver resources for wealth.
