The Reese River is a 181-mile-long (291 km) tributary of the Humboldt River, located in central Nevada in the western United States. The Reese rises in the southern section of the Toiyabe Range, on the flanks of Arc Dome. In its upper reaches, the Reese River is a fast-flowing mountain stream surrounded by relatively lush growth, including Aspen groves and cottonwood trees. It then flows north between the Toiyabe Range and the Shoshone Mountains for approximately half its length. The river then passes through a low point in the Shoshone Mountains and continues north between that range and the Fish Creek Mountains. Once it exits the Toiyabe Range, it becomes a slow, muddy stream, and its waters are used for irrigation by scattered farms and ranches along its lower reaches. Although consider

  • El río Reese (del inglés: Reese River) es un corto río del Oeste de Estados Unidos que discurre íntegramente por el estado de Nevada, en una zona poco poblada de su parte central. Con una longitud de 291 km,​ es el principal afluente del río Humboldt, un largo río endorreico perteneciente a la región de la Gran Cuenca que atraviesa el estado de este a oeste discurriendo a través de una sucesión de hendiduras en las cordilleras de la región, que corren en dirección N-S. Administrativamente, el Reese discurre por los condados de Elko, Eureka, Lander, Humboldt, Pershing y Churchill. El Reese nace en la sección sur de la , en los flancos de . En su tramo superior, el río Reese es un arroyo de montaña que fluye rápidamente rodeado de una zona de crecimiento relativamente exuberante que incluye bosques de álamos temblones y álamos. Luego fluye hacia el norte entre la cordillera de Toiyabe y las durante aproximadamente la mitad de su curso. El río pasa luego a través de un punto bajo en las montañas Shoshone y continúa hacia el norte entre esa cordillera y las . Una vez que sale de la cordillera Toiyabe se convierte en una corriente lenta y fangosa, y sus aguas son utilizadas para el riego por granjas dispersas y ranchos a lo largo de su curso inferior. Aunque se considera un afluente del Humboldt, en la mayoría de los años el Reese se reduce a una cadena de charcas poco profundos mucho antes de llegar al cauce principal. Solo durante las infrecuentes inundaciones el Reese contribuye con sus aguas al Humboldt, desaguando cerca de Battle Mountain.​ La discurre en paralela en la sección inferior, usualmente seca del canal desde el área de Austin hasta Battle Mountain. El río lleva el nombre de John Reese, que exploró el área en 1854 como parte de la expedición del coronel Edward Steptoe, y que luego sirvió como guía para el estudio del capitán de una carretera militar a través del centro de Nevada.​ La explosión de la minería en la ciudad de Austin, ubicada en la parte alta del río Reese, da nombre a su periódico de larga vida el Reese River Reveille.​ (es)
  • The Reese River is a 181-mile-long (291 km) tributary of the Humboldt River, located in central Nevada in the western United States. The Reese rises in the southern section of the Toiyabe Range, on the flanks of Arc Dome. In its upper reaches, the Reese River is a fast-flowing mountain stream surrounded by relatively lush growth, including Aspen groves and cottonwood trees.

Once it exits the Toiyabe Range, it becomes a slow, muddy stream, and its waters are used for irrigation by scattered farms and ranches along its lower reaches. Although considered a tributary of the Humboldt, in most years, the Reese dwindles into a chain of shallow pools long before it reaches the main stem. Only during infrequent floods does the Reese contribute water to the Humboldt, entering near Battle Mountain. Nevada State Route 305 parallels the lower, usually dry portion of the channel from the Austin area to Battle Mountain. The river is named after John Reese, who explored the area in 1854 as part of the expedition of Colonel Edward Steptoe, and who later served as a guide to Captain James H. Simpson's survey of a military road through central Nevada. The mining boomtown of Austin, located in the upper reaches of the Reese River, names its long-lived newspaper the Reese River Reveille.
