Few communities in Nevada have a history as closely tied to the Walker River Paiute Reservation as Schurz. This desert settlement lies near the Walker River and the southern end of Walker Lake, amid the broad, dry basins and mountain ranges of western Nevada. Schurz is the headquarters of the Walker River Paiute Tribe, whose presence gives the community a central role in the reservation. Water defines this arid setting: the Walker River is Walker Lake’s principal inflow, while the lake has no natural outlet.
