1961 Map of Quinn River Crossing

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The high desert landscape of Humboldt County, Nevada, is centered on Quinn River Crossing, a historical hub of movement across the basin at the start of the 1960s. This survey illustrates a reliance on precious water sources in an arid environment, with numerous vital points such as Paine Well, Mud Spr, and De Long Spr dotting the terrain. The presence of Bilk Creek Reservoir and irrigation-related infrastructure like the Hay Quinn River Well reflects the agricultural footprint in the Kings River Valley and along the Quinn River. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the Jackson Mountains, where labels like Black Mtn and Ninemile Summit define the high country. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies ranching sites like Nine Mile Ranch and transient locations such as Quinn River Camp, linked by the primitive Winnemucca Denio Road and various jeep trails.
