Nevada is a sovereign state. Everything within its boundaries is Nevada.
The courts also say that killing babies is OK.
I can see that you know little about land in the West. You need to educate yourself. Unlike the states in the East where the federal government either sold or transferred as grants most of the public lands that came into the Union, they did not do this in the West. Most of these were admitted to the Union on condition that they renounce their title to public lands and the Federal Government elected to retain title, largely because the demand was low and later because government decided to keep it.
