Dry Springs was a town in the state of Nevada, located within helicopter distance of New Mexico's Area 51. Shortly after the tenth Doctor's arrival in 1958, it was attacked by a Viperox battle drone and representatives of the Alliance of Shades. Cassie Rice was a waitress at her mother's diner there, and Jimmy Stalkingwolf was a ranch hand on local spreads. Ultimately, the town sustained a major Viperox attack, essentially destroying it. (DW: Dreamland)
- Dry Springs is not a real town in Nevada, according to current postal code records. Nor is its implied location relative to Area 51 realistic. The editing of Dreamland seems to imply that Dry Springs is close to Roswell — an easy trip for Cassie and Jimmy to make by truck. But if we accept the real-life position of Roswell, and we assume that Dry Springs is on the easternmost edge of Nevada, the two towns would still be hundreds of miles apart. Roswell is much closer to Texas than Nevada.
