An isolated CCC-era steel water tower set against Pioche's high-desert scrub and the eroded spires of nearby Cathedral Gorge. Shoot textures of rust and rivets, the tower's silhouette at golden hour, and nightscapes with Milky Way backdrops. Accessible from Cathedral Gorge State Park Road — check park hours/entry fees and use the small roadside parking; expect unpaved approaches and minimal facilities.
