I’m actually aware of this “history”, and of the provision in the Nevada constitution.

Your argument falls apart in identifying where in the U.S. Constitution, the power to violate same is ceded to the state of Nevada.

Within state boundaries the U.S. Constitution grants no authority to retain acreage for unenumerated purposes, such as land for grazing, mineral development, agriculture, forests, or parks.

Where your argument falls apart is:

Congress’s enumerated authority to
...and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other Property belonging to the United States

and the 10th Amendment which reserves any right not enumerated to the state. The State of Nevada chose to return that ownership to the US Government via it’s state constitution.

and Article I Section 8 clause 17 which reads in part ....and to exercise like authority over all places purchased by the consent of the legislature of the state in which the same shall be,...

and pursuant to Article Four, section 3, clause 2 of the United States Constitution.[1] The United States Supreme Court has repeatedly held that this section empowers Congress to retain federal lands, to regulate federal lands such as by limiting cattle grazing, and to sell such lands.

And I will go ahead and mention the Taylor Grazing Act of 1934
