2018 Map of South of McDermitt

About this map

Quinn River Valley defines the lower reaches of this high-desert landscape in Humboldt County, where drainage systems from the surrounding mountains converge onto the valley floor. The map illustrates a complex network of seasonal watercourses including Threemile Cr, Eightmile Cr, and Canyon Cr, which descend toward the basin. The transportation infrastructure is anchored by Old Hwy 95, running parallel to the newer highway corridor, while ranching and access roads like Buckskin Canyon Rd and Indian Creek-Canyon Creek Rd push into the more topographically varied eastern terrain. The presence of Brinkerhoff Ln and Flat Creek Rd suggests the historical importance of specific homesteads or grazing access points in this corner of northern Nevada, providing a clear record of land use and water management in the late 2010s.
