A district judge ruled Clark County functions as part of Nevada despite a revival of a 19th century theory that the southern border of Nevada extended to the 37th parallel. The defense argued Clark County and parts of Nye and Lincoln Counties are unincorporated territory, but the judge found it has operated as a Nevada county since 1864.
