2015 Map of Sod House

About this map

The Quinn River meanders through the arid expanse of Desert Valley in this remote section of northern Nevada. This landscape is defined by the contrast between the flat valley floor and the rising slopes of the Double H Mountains, which dominate the eastern portion of the quadrangle. The namesake settlement of Sod House sits near the base of Sod House Point, a prominent geographic feature overlooking the river's winding path. Historical transport routes such as the Old Winnemucca-Denio Rd and Sod House Rd intersect the terrain, providing essential passage through this sparsely populated high-desert region. Further north, the Quinn River Lakes and Cheietto Spring serve as critical water points in an otherwise thirsty environment, illustrating the importance of natural hydrology to local settlement and land use.
