2021 Map of Quinn Canyon Springs NW

About this map

Quinn Canyon Range dominates the southern landscape of this high-desert region, where the steep topography of the mountains gives way to the broad alluvial expanse of Railroad Valley in the north. This transition zone is punctuated by vital water sources such as Seeps Spring and Trough Spring, which have long served as critical points for surveyors and travelers navigating this arid portion of the Great Basin. The map also delineates the high-altitude terrain of Moonshine Canyon and follows the county boundary line dividing Nye and Lincoln counties. The lack of modern development emphasizes the remote character of the basin-and-range geography, defined by complex contour lines and the Public Land Survey System grids including t1n r54e and t2n r54e.
