Dry watering trough

At the mouth of an unnamed canyon to the west of the Seven Troughs Range, Pershing County, Nevada, USA. The larger canyons in lots of these dry-looking desert ranges generally have a little surface water locally--a spring or two, or even a small creek. At one point, probably in the early 20th century, the ranchers in the area built piping to carry water from these springs down to watering troughs for the livestock. Most of that infrastructure has fallen into complete disrepair, as here.
