The Quinn Canyon Range is a remote group of mountains in northeastern Nye County, and western Lincoln County in central Nevada in the western United States. Adaven is the only settlement in the mountains, now abandoned.
It is closely associated with the Grant Range, which connects to it at the mountain pass of Cherry Creek Summit 7,596 feet (2,315 m).[1] From there, the range runs for approximately 33 miles to the southwest. To the west is the large Railroad Valley, to the east is White River Valley, and to the south is Sand Spring Valley.
