It’s the third most seismic

I understand the seismic history and geology of Nevada and the west, however, I was referring to recent history. As I said, I just don't recall hearing about 6 or above quake in that region, (NE NV). No doubt it has occurred in the distant past.

This map verifies your take, dragnet. It shows nothing >5.0 in eastern Nevada since the 1700s. Of course, that's not to say that area isn't a lot less evaluated than points west.
