 NOAA/NMFS/NWFSC-TM30: Homing, Straying, and Colonization
It has been hypothesized (Quinn 1984) that adaptations evolve most rapidly in stable habitats and that homing is likely to be positively associated with the intricacy of adaptations for freshwater habitat, and with variation in age at return.
For example, Cowlitz River spring-run chinook salmon strayed more often to the Lewis River than to the Kalama River, even though the Kalama River is closer to the Cowlitz River than is the Lewis River (Quinn and Fresh 1984).
In addition, smolts were taken by boat in tanks receiving ambient water to the bar of the river (rkm 2), 19 km offshore in the river's plume, 19 km offshore outside the river's plume, and 38 km offshore in non-plume water.

Ogden gave the name "Unknown River" to the Humboldt at this time, as he was unsure where it went.
Later, after the death of his trapper Joseph Paul, Ogden renamed the stream Paul's River, then Swampy River, finally Mary's River, from the legendary Indian wife of one of his trappers.
Ogden's or Mary's River were commonly used names for the Humboldt prior to the publication of John C. Fremont's map in 1848.

 THE PERMIAN-TRIASSIC BOUNDARY AT QUINN RIVER CROSSING, NORTHWESTERN NEVADA AND IMPLICATIONS FOR THE CAUSE OF THE EARLY ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The upper Permian-lower Triassic sediments of the Quinn River Formation (QRF) in northwestern Nevada were previously thought to represent an incomplete Permian-Triassic (P-Tr) boundary sequence due to an inferred disconformable facies relationship between bedded chert and an overlying siltstone.
This ‘chert gap' is reflected at Quinn River in the unfossiliferous 30 meters of shale and deep-water carbonates where the contact between cherts of late Permian and early Triassic age occurs.
Given the (1) conformable facies relationships, (2) deep-water setting of the section, (3) new radiolarian biostratigraphic data indicating longer ranges for some key species, and (4) presence of the worldwide chert gap, it is suggested that sedimentation in the QRF may have been continuous across the P-Tr boundary.

 Cowboy Country ~ McDermitt
Lieutenant Colonel Charles F. McDermitt (also spelled McDermitt), commander of the Nevada military district, ordered establishment of a camp at Quinn River Station on the north bank of the East Fork of the Quinn River during the summer of 1865 to protect travelers passing b etween Boise, Star City and Virginia City.
That same summer Colonel McDermitt was ambushed and killed by Indians while riding in Quinn River Valley, and by 1867 the camp renamed in his honor had stone and adobe buildings which housed the usual army facilities.
About a decade later frame buildings were added, and in 1879 Camp McDermitt became Fort McDermitt, but the need for military presence in the area was diminishing, and a decade later the fort, Nevada's last cavalry post was abandoned.
