Little Smoky Valley is one of the Central Nevada Desert Basins and an eponym for the larger Little Smoky-Newark Watershed. The valley spans three counties in Nevada, namely Eureka, Nye, and White Pine.[1]
The valley's numerous springs include Cool Tank, Mahogany, Moody, Little Nevada, Pogue Wells, and Soda Springs.[2] Places in the valley include the Warm Springs, Nevada, community[3] and the Little Smoky Valley Use Area for grazing.[4]
Little Smoky Valley was so named on account of frequently foggy conditions.[5]
