It covers portions of the drainage basins of the Feather, Yuba, American, Truckee, and Carson rivers; Tahoe, Pyramid, Winnemucca and Honey lakes and the so-called Mud Lakes; also the country in the vicinity of the Comstock Lode and that portion of the Sierra Nevada through which the Central Pacific Railroad passes.
