The "Smoke Creek Desert" is roughly the same elevation and consistency as the Black Rock Desert, but is largely undriveable. It is located west and south of Gerlach and extends almost to Pyramid Lake.
The railroad skirts the eastern edge of the playa, and the "Smoke Creek Road" skirts the western edge.
