Ivanpah Valley


The Ivanpah Valley is in southeastern California and southern Nevada in the United States. The valley is between the New [York Mountains] and the Ivanpah Mountains in San Bernardino County on the California side, and in Clark County on the Nevada side. The communities of Cima, California; Nipton, California; Jean, Nevada; and Primm, Nevada are in the valley. The Ivanpah Dry Lake, a popular place for land sailing, and the site of the proposed Southern Nevada [Supplemental Airport] also lie in the valley.
The headwaters of the valley lie in the south and southeast in the north of the Mojave [National Preserve]; the southeast of the valley is a water divide point at the south of the McCullough Range, with four valleys, and four mountain ranges.
The Ivanpah valley is featured in the 2010 video game Fallout: New Vegas.
