The Antelope Valley adjacent to the Nevada/Utah state line, and located in southeast Elko County and northeast White Pine County, Nevada is a 70 mi (113 km) long[1] endorheic valley. The valley curves around the Dolly Varden and Kinsley Mountains, and the Antelope Range.

The valley is separated into two sections north and south, with an unnamed badlands region, at 40°07′45″N 114°07′59″W / 40.12917°N 114.13306°W / 40.12917; -114.13306 (though labelled as such[1]) between eastern mountain ranges on its central-east perimeter. These badlands are on the Nevada/Utah border and southeast of Ferber Hills a small range of hills, mostly in Elko County, Nevada and partially in Tooele County, Utah.

A large two-lobed playa region makes up most of the south valley region, and can be easily seen from surrounding mountain ridgelines.
