1961 Map of Quinn River Crossing

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Quinn River Crossing stands as a focal point in this high-desert basin, where the Quinn River meanders through the valley floor. The map documents a critical nexus of water and travel, featuring numerous springs and wells such as Paine Well and Hay Quinn River Well that supported livestock and passage through the arid terrain. To the east, the Black Rock Range and Black Mtn dominate the horizon, while the Jackson Mountains rise to the south. This 1960s landscape is defined by its transit routes, including the Old Winnemucca Road and Ninemile Road, which connect remote outposts like the Nine Mile Ranch. The presence of the Bilk Creek Reservoir and various gravel pits suggests the local importance of water management and early infrastructure development in Humboldt County during this era.
