what should I do with Nevada

random idea: what if the northernmost part of California, north of the 39th parallel, was ceded to Nevada, as in this map?

Can't really think of a good POD for this happening, but it looks neat...

Trade it to California for three technologies of your choosing, perhaps Early Railroads, Machine Tools, and Medicine?
 
If the Mormons still exist and go to Utah then Nevada is pretty likely to exist due to government distrust of the Mormons. State borders can only be changed with the states consent and that along with the mountains making travel hard would make it unlikely that Nevada or whatever name you would give to that state would last.

Territorial borders, like Nevada and Utah, are much easier to change however. And there's not necessarily a reason Nevada needs to be rushed to statehood while Utah still has the whole deal with the Mormons as to why it might take a while to get statehood.
 
Nevada reason for existence was due to the Mormons as the Utah Territory boundaries included Nevada.
 
If southern CA splits off as came close to happening, maybe CA gets a slice of NV as compensation, with the rest remaining to UT. Las Vegas remains to AZ, unless all or most of that area gets added to the new S Cal state.

Give it to the Indians as their own nation with their own army and own self-determination?
