Why this spot
1867-1932 silver camp with Goldfield-era revival
Silver camp settled in 1867 on a former Shoshone and Northern Paiute camp, mostly worked out by 1880. A 1905 boom tied to Goldfield lifted it to about 300 people for two years, and the Roosevelt Midland Trail auto route passed through from 1913; the post office closed in 1932.View source →
