The evidence chain

LongitudeSolar midnight 07:17–07:23 UTC over 7 nights (σ<1°). Raw → 110.5° W; geology forces 112.5° W ⇒ camera clock ~8 min fast. high
LatitudeDay-length ~14.1 h is soft (36–39° N), but the low-elevation fresh-basalt requirement pins the Black Rock subfields → 38.5–39.3° N. moderate
GeologyFresh dark vesicular aa basalt talus = Pleistocene–Holocene flows. Exists here, not at 110.5° W. high
BotanyBig sagebrush + cheatgrass, no creosote/yucca/cholla → Great Basin cold desert. high

Caveats

Longitude rests on the inferred ~8-min clock offset (unverifiable without ADS-B). If the clock were exact, the scene would sit at 110.5° W — but no young basalt exists there, so that branch is disfavored. Subfield markers are approximate (town-referenced); refine with USGS polygons. "Waterfall Hunt" is a codename — the scene is an arid basalt slope, no waterfall.
