Quinn River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Quinn River is an intermittent river, approximately 110 mi (177 km) long, in the desert of northwestern Nevada in the United States. It drains an enclosed basin inside the larger Great Basin.
It rises in northeastern Humboldt County, on the west side of the Santa Rosa Range, just south of the Oregon state line. Its course flows southwest, then northwest receiving the Kings River from the north and passing the through the Jackson Mountains. On the west side of the Jackson Mountains it turns southwest, into the Black Rock Desert where it evaporates in a sink approximately 60 mi (100 km) west of Winnemucca.
