Geographic Area
The Northern Branch serves Northern California and all of Nevada except Clark County.

Although it does not have an official definition, “Northern California” generally refers to the northernmost 48 counties in California: all of California north of and including Monterey, Kings, Tulare, and Inyo Counties. The southern borders of these counties form a nearly straight line across California, at approximately 35° 47′ 28″ north latitude. This is the designated border of the Northern Branch.
