2015 Map of Quinn River Crossing

About this map

Quinn River Crossing stands as a focal point in this high-desert landscape, where the primary waterway carves a path between distinct geographical features. The northern reaches of the Jackson Mountains dominate the southern half of the quadrangle, giving way to the open expanses of Lovely Valley and the edges of the Black Rock Desert to the west. This territory is defined by the intermittent flow of the Quinn River and its tributary, Bilk Cr, which dictate the placement of local thoroughfares. Sparse but essential infrastructure, including Dufurrena Rd and Leonard Creek Rd, traces the contours of the basin, reflecting the remote ranching and transit history of northwestern Nevada. The map details the Township and Range system across these basins, providing a clear view of the land partitions used in this arid region of Humboldt County.
