BLM Area of Critical Environmental Concern about 30 miles southeast of Ely protecting refuge ponds that hold a reintroduced population of the endangered Pahrump poolfish (Empetrichthys latos). Artesian-fed desert ponds and associated riparian fringe sit on public land in the Snake Valley foothills west of Great Basin National Park — a quiet wildlife stop rather than a developed park.
