It looks like Carson City, NV and Lake Tahoe below in that picture.

I had a friend who worked at Nellis in the early '70s and was around the SR-71s. He said that they leaked like a sieve when on the ground because they were designed to seal up as heat caused expansion to occur. He also had some of the "pride tidbits", one of which was this scenario:

A SR71 is cranking across the Pacific and intends to land in NY after traversing the Nation.
As it reaches the California coast, it is told to abort the NY landing and land in California instead.
It is over Kansas before it gets turned around....
