I recently acquired this gopher snake in a trade, and I was wondering if anyone could help me identify the locale.

I agree, that it is mainly a great basin gopher snake, but there is maybe some influence of... the sonoran gopher snake? or maybe the pacific gopher snake?
Because of the neck pattern and the side stripe at the neck it would be a great basin. But the neck pattern are not really black, what is typical for the most great basin gopher snakes. So there is maybe a little influence of a "neighbour" (or 2?-intergradezone in south east California?), who has a brown neck. Maybe a sonoran gopher snake?
But a pacific gopher influence is possible, too. The body saddles of your animal have a little "round character" and are not so many.
