2012 Map of Quinn Canyon Springs

About this map

Quinn Canyon Springs and Trough Spring provide essential water sources in this high-desert landscape within the Quinn Canyon Range. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, where Little Water Canyon and the larger Quinn Canyon drain toward the expansive Sand Spring Valley to the southeast. A sparse network of unpaved tracks, including Quinn Canyon Rd and Gunderson Rd, represents the primary human infrastructure in this part of Lincoln County. The map captures a moment in the early 21st century when this area remained focused on the natural movement of water and the topography of the Great Basin, offering a clear view of the drainage patterns and landforms that dictate life and travel in the Nevada desert.
