Stateline Wilderness

Stateline Wilderness is a protected area in California’s eastern Mojave Desert, about three miles northwest of Primm, Nevada, that preserves the eastern end of the Clark Mountain Range. Its roughly 7,004 acres contain steep, rugged terrain formed largely of limestone and dolomite. Plant life shifts with elevation, from creosote bush and bursage on the bajadas to Mojave yucca, Joshua trees, cacti, and mixed desert shrubs on the slopes, with pockets of pinyon-juniper at the highest elevations. Though it has no known permanent water sources, it supports characteristic Mojave wildlife and is valued for its undeveloped desert landscape and its preservation of a distinct section of the Clark Mountain area.
