Looks more like Utah to me.

I like that Vanagon route through Lakeville to that junction ..
then turn right to go down to Winnemuca on I-80.

If I'm going to Zion or North Rim of the Grand Canyon ...or NM ..
I only goon I-80 for about 35 miles or so ..then pick up ..forget the
hwy #...
the road that goes diagonally across Nevada to near St. George..
then I only do 20 miles on that interstate and turn into Zion ..coming
out the south side straight north of North Rim.

I can drive from here in So. Oregon clear to Taos NM and only be on
intestates twice, for a total of about 40minutes.
Gorgeous vanagon country - all that territory !

it's super empty east of Lakeville all right. And coldthis time of year.
