Sand Mountain, as seen from US. Highway 50 Other Articles: FAQ: Singing Sands Field Notes: 20020605330 Singing and Booming Sand Dunes: Sand Mountain, Nevada Locations: Sand Mountain.	Sand Mountain Just off U. S. Highway 50 east of Fallon, Nevada, on the edge of Four Mile Flat, probably is the biggest Great Basin dune. In Blue Highways, William Least Heat Moon describes it as "a single massive mound of tawny sand . . . of such size that, while it wasn't perhaps big enough to be a mountain by everybody's definition, it was surely more than a dune." ... Sand Mountain is one of several dunes known to make singing or booming sounds when the sand is set in motion down the slip face. Shearing between adjacent layers of moving sand appears to cause the sounds; although, the cause is by no means settled (Trexler and Melhorn, 1986). E. Raymond Hall introduced his 1946 classic Mammals of Nevada with a walk around Sand Mountain, where small mammals occur in a density equaled in few other habitats (Trimble, 1989)."

	One of the things that surprised me was that the central Nevada mountain ranges are bare above the Pinyon-Juniper belt. Not until we got to eastern Nevada did a Ponderosa Pine or Rocky Mountain White Fir zone appear above the Pinyons and Junipers. Why might this be? Are Ponderosa Pines or White Fir unable to survive on the central Nevada ranges? Conversely, did those species, or communities, never have the opportunity to migrate to the central Nevada ranges?

Through the first half of the 20th century, this area produced nearly a billion dollars in copper, gold and silver. The huge mounds visible from here are waste rock which was removed to uncover the ore. Lane City, originally called Mineral City, was settled in 1869 and had a population of 400.
