Gen. Grievous1138 (LOTR Mod Wiki Admin) comlink 18:16, July 31, 2017 (UTC) The fact that Nurn is within Mordor and that Mordor was said to be desolate perhaps?

Desolate in terms of people is subjective. It could mean desolate altogether, desolate in terms of servants of Sauron, desolate of Orcs, or (what I personally find most likely) desolate of anything that can pose a threat to Gondor. It's fairly likely that there were orcs hiding in the mountains there after the War of the Last Alliance; but as they aren't a threat, they could exist and the land could still be desolate.
