footnotes =The Black Rock Desert-High Rock Canyon Emigrant Trails National Conservation Area is federal land in Nevada under the Bureau of Land Management. It allows uses including recreation and motorized vehicle travel while managing the area to preserve the historic emigrant trails and the natural landmarks of the Black Rock Desert and High Rock Canyon. Many activities such as anything with a large group of people require a BLM permit.

The long name of the area has led people to often shorten it to the Black Rock-High Rock NCA when not required to use the full name.

The Bureau of Land Management office in Winnemucca, Nevada published maps most recently dated July 2004 which show the general boundaries of the NCA and 10 wilderness areas located in the region. [cite web
