OK. Here's a puzzle. Is Peavine Peak part of the Carson Range or the Sierra Nevada? I wonder about the northern boundary of the Carson Range -- hike395 05:51, 20 Aug 2003 (UTC)

One article in the Reno Gazette-Journal claims that it is part of the Carson Range, which is then part of the Sierra Nevada [1]. -- hike395
Peavine is actually not part of any range. The Carson Range ends at the Truckee River west of Reno according to the USGS [2]. The Biological Resources Research Center at UNR has a set of web pages that go over every mountain range in Nevada [3].
Carson Range: http://www.brrc.unr.edu/mtn/html/carson.html
Peavine: http://www.brrc.unr.edu/mtn/html/peavine.html
I think that many government organizations and other groups refer to these mountains and regions generically as the "Sierra Nevada" to avoid having to single out all of the mountain areas that they mean. --- Sdp
Also, I realize that we're starting to get to a slippery slope. I don't think we really want, or need, to have every single range of hills or mountains in the Wikipedia. I personally think that the Carson Range is one that should be in the Wikipedia because of it's geographic relationship to other major geographic features (Reno, Lake Tahoe, Carson City, etc.) That's my 2cents. -- Sdp 16:34, 20 Aug 2003 (UTC)
I've never paid attention to the back (west) side of Peavine. If it is obviously distinct from the Sierra Nevada, that's OK. I was just looking at a topo map of the area around Reno, and I was wondering if Peavine should be definitionally stuck onto one or the other range. -- hike395 04:31, 21 Aug 2003 (UTC)
