Clark County Ghost Town List

I have not personally visited all the ghost towns on this list. Clark County will be the subject of a future book of mine but current conditions listed, if not visited by myself, are reports from fellow ghosttowners or other literary sources. For additional information, consult Stanley Paher's Nevada Ghost Towns and Mining Camps.

Editor's Note 10/27/03: Many thanks to Bob Maichle from Las Vegas, a knowledgeable historian who greatly helped in expanding this list! Internet users will recognize him as "Another Bob" on ghost town posts.

Terminal location for the Barnwell and Searchlight Railroad, later part of the Sante Fe Line. Rather than construct up the hill to Searchlight, the railroad only ran to land owned by the Searchlight Terminal Townsite Company. This flat inexpensive location was about a mile southwest of the town. Abbottsville was a named applied to the station and adjacent buildings as a means of the Searchlight residents expressing their disgust with F.J. Abbott, the managing director of the company. The railroad was completed in the spring of 1907 and operated until a major washout occurred in September of 1923. The railroad was never rebuilt and Abbottsville soon faded. Little remains.

Former station and siding on the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake RR, later part of the Union Pacific. It was the first station north of Moapa in Meadow Valley Wash. The siding was abandoned in 1949. The station house, out buildings and water tank have long since disappeared and only a keen eye can located evidence of the siding.

A rush developed after alunite was discovered in 1908 but when large deposits weren't discovered, the camp was abandoned by the end of 1909. Only mine dumps are let.

A former station on the Saint Thomas Branch of the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake RR, later a siding on the Union Pacific. Located between former White Siding and Logandale Siding. Nothing of the station remains today.

An original station on the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake RR, later part of the Union Pacific. Though the station, water tank, and support buildings are no longer present, Apex is still a well used railroad siding and switch location for a spur that runs to the Pabco Gypsum Plant.

A plaster mine opened in 1909 and was operated by the Arden Plaster Company until 1919 when it was sold to U.S. Gypsum. An investigation of the mine site will reviews that there were actually three narrow gauge railroad lines. The eight mile line from the mine to the Arden Plaster Mill at the town of Arden, an upper line servicing the mining tunnels, and a connecting tram rail. The rail grades are still visible but the urban sprawl of Las Vegas is fast encroaching.

Camp associated with the Argentena Mine located south of Goodsprings in the Spring Mountains. While the mine operated off and on from 1927 to 1962, the camp was active for only a couple of years. There were over 900 tons of zinc, 290 tons of lead, 6,000 pounds of copper, 1,000 pounds of silver and smaller amounts of gold and vanadium recovered from the mine.

Former community associated with the quarry and milling complex of the U.S. Lime Products Company plant at the east end of the old Apex Railroad Yard.

A siding and the spur of the former White Star Plaster Comapny on the Saint Thomas Branch of the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake RR, now the Union Pacific.

A non-agency station on the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake RR, later Union Pacific and located south of Arden. A shoo-fly RR line was constructed from Bard to Erie running through what is now Southern Highlands and up I-15 and used until the tunnel and grading of the permanent line from Bard, through Sloan to Erie was constructed. The Bard Siding was abandoned in 1945. Bard took its name from the nearby Bard Mining District. Little remains.

Siding on the former Bureau of Reclamation railroad located at the Babcock & Wilcox steel fabrication plant adjacent to the road to Hoover Dam. Although the railroad is long gone, there is still much to see.

A gas station and stop on old Highway 91 south of Jean. There is an old mill site and other ruins nearby. Nothing much remains.

Mining camp associated with activity on Bonanza Hill (now called Root Hill). The Root, Singer and McVicar mines were nearby and Bonanza actually supported a school in 1916. Singer Wash and Bonanza Wash are interesting places to explore.

Ferry and adjacent community that developed after Daniel Bonelli bought Stone's Ferry and moved it upstream to the junction of the Virgin and Colorado River. Bonelli Ferry was the main river crossing for Mohave County, Arizona for mining camps like White Hillls, Cerbat, Mineral Park to get supplies in from Southern Utah. Bonelli's Ferry is now under Lake Mead.

A station on the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake RR settled in 1905. The phasing out of steam power ended the need for the community. Today, the only evidence of the town is a siding on the Union Pacific RR.

Siding and wye on the Union Pacific Railroad between Bracken and Pierce where the Boulder City branch left the main line. Engulfed by business buildings, this railroad locale remains today.

A station on the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake RR located five miles south of Las Vegas. Bracken was a major siding until steam power was phased out in 1949. Today, Bracken has been engulfed by the Las Vegas Strip.

A manned siding on the Nevada side of the Arizona bridge on the Boulder Damn construction railroad. It was located just before the bridge across the Colorado River on the railroad to the gravel pits on the Arizona side and 4.7 miles from Gravel Plant. It was near the bridge, hence locale was named Bridge. Bridge is under Lake Mead now.

A post office, established August 1, 1855, at Las Vegas Mission, New Mexico Territory, was named for William Bringhurst by postal officials "because there was already one named Vegas in New Mexico..." The Bringhurst post office was discontinued September 22, 1860. The next post office would be named "Los Vegas" as the officials didn't want to confuse patrons with the much larger Las Vegas, New Mexico in June 1893. The misnomer continued until December of 1903.

A siding and railroad community on the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake RR, later the Union Pacific which was abandoned in 1949. Today, the name lives on in the Byron interchange on I-15.

A river crossing settlement established in 1864, which served as the original county seat of Pahute County, Arizona. A very important freight center and river landing. However, use faded during the late 1860s and the town was abandoned by 1869. The adventurous can still visit Callville's many stone ruins but you will need scuba gear since the site is now under Lake Mead.

Camp associated with the Azurite Mine. Although this mine operated intermittenly from 1910 to 1947, the principal production was in 1916-1917 when demand rose with the advent of World War I.

Turn of the century mining camp named for George Duncan, had activity from 1900 to 1910. Camp was located on the side of a small hill, named Mount Duncan.

Mining camp named for George Dupont who conceived a plan to tunnel into a mountain in the hopes of hitting a rich vein. Dupont had resources but no ore and all operations were stopped by 1910.

A temprary military camp established on January 15, 1865 to protect the miners of Eldorado Canyon from Indian attack. Soldiers were stationed at Camp Eldorado until August 24, 1867. The site was just north of the mouth of Eldorado Canyon on the west bank of the Colorado River at the Eldorado Ferry crossing. The site of the camp and the ferry are now under Lake Mohave.

Civilian Conservation Corp camp located near St. Thomas. Little remains of this site which is sometimes covered by Lake Mead.

Civilian Conservation Corp camp located in Lee Canyon. This facility was turned over to the Forest Service when the CCC was dissolved. The Forest Service leased the facility to Clark County as a youth camp in 1940. This leased continued at least 25 years.

A military police training camp near Boulder City during World War II. All buildings were moved to the Dvis Dam construction camp in 1946. Apparently renamed Camp Williston during the war, it also provided quarters for the troops that guarded Boulder Dam. Boulder City has engulfed Camp Sibert.

A short lived 1906 mining camp located near Summit Spring, 3 miles east of Searchlight.

Mining camp 16 miles southeast of Searchlight, where John Thurman found gold in about 1906. There was a townsite platted late in 1906 and intense activity for a few years. An occupied mine still exists.

Copper camp near Bunkerville in the Copper King District. District was organized in 1896 and the camp was gone in 1897.

Stage station located at the old Huntsman Ranch near the entrance to Meadow Valley above Moapa.

The camp at the old Capitol Mine, in Capitol Wash about 6 miles southeast of Nelson. The camp was active from 1904 until the 1930s. The last person in Capitol Camp was Yeoman Briggs who purchased the Capitol Mine in 1928 and lived the rest of his life at the camp.

A ferry located between Black Canyon and Boulder Canyon on the Colorado River and operated by James Cashman. The ferry could move 6 to 8 cars at a time. The main road from Kingman to Williamsville and later Boulder City. Ferry operated from 1931 until the lake began to rise behind the finished Boulder Dam.

Service station community along what is now I-15 existed from 1926 to 1959. It was located in California Wash along the highway. Named for Kent Comstock who built the station in 1926. The road was relocated in the late '30s and a single resident remained until a fire consumed the remaining building in 1959.

Short-lived mining camp at Copper Mountain in 1910. Only mine clutter remains. Copper Camp is in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area.

Another Copper City was a 1908 mining camp near the Saint Thomas Gap in the Gold Butte area. This Copper City was active for less than two years, nothing remains.

Corn Creek was a station on the Las Vegas and Tonopah RR located between Tule Springs Station and Owens siding. There is a small community that has developed in the area as well as the US Fish and Wildlife complex at Corn Creek Springs nearby.

Milling community on Cottonwood Island in the Colorado River. The mill operated from the late 1890s until the early 1930s. Cottonwood Island is now under Lake Mohave.

Between 1863 and 1878, Mexican miners removed more than $500K in gold but Mormons attacked, killed most of the miners, and took over the mines. The town of Crescent came into being in 1904 when new silver deposits were discovered. However, any permanence for Crescent was doomed by the financial panic of 1907 and the town was empty by 1908. Only rubble and foundations remain.

A siding on the Hoover Dam construction railroad above Lake Mead Lodge. Named for Frank Crowe who was the General Superintendent of Construction for Six Companies Boulder Dam Project.

A non-agency station and siding on the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake RR, later Union Pacific which was abandoned in 1949. Little remains except dump litter.

A community since the 1920s just downstream from the construction site for Davis Dam. The community grew when the dam was actually built and a post office established May 1, 1947. The community was removed after construction of the dam was completed and the post office was transferred to Mohave County, Arizona on December 1, 1950.

Siding and small railroad community on the Union Pacific Railroad named for the nearby Dike Mining District. Buildings have long since disappeared.

Railroad community, water and pumping station on the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake RR, located in Dry Lake Valley. Dry Lake had a post office from December 3, 1925 to June 30, 1945, and again from January 31, 1950 to December 31, 1955. One residence and the railroad siding remain along with lots of railroad clutter.

Indians and the Spanish mined here for hundreds of years before new discoveries were made in 1861 that led to the formation of the first mining camp in the canyon. A true lawless wild west town for many years. Authorities were afraid to come here. The legendary Techatticup Mine was the mainstay of the town. After a short slowdown, the mines revived in 1905 and a new town Nelson formed. Production was large and the town continued to slowly grow and by 1940, had a population of 600. However, the mines closed in the mid-1940s. Eldorado is now under Lake Mojave but about 50 people still live at Nelson. The Techatticup Mine was recently refurbished and is now open for public tours, a rare opportunity to go underground in an old gold mine.

The mining camp at the old Eldorado Mine, established by Nat Lewis near Huse Spring. The mine had been revived in 1901, with a 25-stamp mill planned but it was never built. Eldorado City was located about a mile east of Nelson.

A bunch of copper claims located near Summit Springs about three miles east of Searchlight, just off the Cottonwood Cove Road. A townsite was laid out in 1906 but nothing materialized.

A mining camp from 1905 to 1910 associated with the Empire Consolidated Mining Company claims.

A major railroad community on the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake RR located at the summit between the Las Vegas and Ivanpah Valleys. Erie had a wye and numerous additional steam engines would disconnect at Erie after helping trains up the grades. The importance of this community decreased when the Union Pacific took over railroad operations and more reliable and powerful steam locomotives reduced the dependence on helper engines. The switch to diesel locomotives ended the need for personnel and Erie was abandoned. Today, the siding, rubble and foundations are all that remains.

A non-agency railroad station on the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake RR and only a siding and rubble remain. Originally called Guelph, the name was changed to honor Fred Farrier, a railroad official.

A name given to an old polygamist colony and ranch which operated near Winnemuc Hill on the Virgin River in the late 1800s. Area was over grown with tamarisk and no evidence of the colony or later Hardy or Dotson Ranch could be determined.

The fort that never was. The name was applied by Colonel James Carleton in a bulletin issued by him in December of 1861. The orders stated that a company of infantry and three of cavalry would be garrisoned at the old Mormon Fort at Bringhurst (Las Vegas) for the purpose of guarding the road from Salt Lake City to San Bernardino. Colonel Edward Dickinson Baker (1811-1861) is commemorated. However, Army records do not show any troops actually garrisoned during the Civil War. The only actual use of Fort Baker might have by an expedition of Captain George Price which passed through the Las Vegas Valley in June, 1864. It appears that Colonel Carleton's bulletin was for Southern spies as he readied California volunteers at Camp Latham (near Los Angeles) for an Arizona/New Mexico bound march to recapture territory from the Confederate Army.

A short-lived copper camp, active in 1909. Named for Fred Siebert, a mining man it was located in Hemenway Pass. Now engulfed by the community of Boulder City.

Mining camp associated with the Gold Butte Mining district. The district, first prospected in 1873, had shipments of mica and copper but gold, discovered in 1905, gave rise to a small mining townsite which was laid out west of Voigt Well. The town hosted a post office from March 1906 to February 1911. The successful mines in the district (Azure Ridge, Big Thing, Bonelli, and Tramp) were located some distance from the community.

Camp associated with original group of claims located by John Thurman in the area near where Camp Thurman would later be situated. The claims were later called the Lloyd-Searchlight.

Silver and lead discovered in 1868 but little was done until 1886 when new discoveries led to the formation of Goodsprings. Named for Joseph Good, a mineral from the Eldorado Canyon who was with a group of prospectors that made the original discoveries. Population grew to 200 by the mid 1890s. Activity continued and the mines had their first $1 million + year in 1912. Town declined in the early 1920s but production continued through the 1930s. The mines were active again during the 1950s and total production stands at more than $30 million. The tiny town still exists today.

A ferry and small community on the Colorado River, about halfway between Bonelli's Ferry and Pierce's Ferry. Mike Scanlon started it in 1881, constructing a dugway road on the Nevada side. He sold out to Tom Gregg who had sold his first ferry to Daniel Bonelli. Gregg's first ferry was a couple miles downstream from the Virgin River Junction Bonelli established. Gregg's Ferry is now under Lake Mead.

Ferry and town on the Colorado River below Harper, Arizona. While most of the town was on the Arizona side, there was a Nevada community as well. Located south of Laughlin.

Siding on the Boulder Dam Construction RR near the Gravel Plant. Remains are now under Lake Mead. Named for Phillip Hart, a Six Companies director.

A townsite plotted as part of a stock promotion scheme for the Frenchman Mine. The scheme was the work of Paul Watelet and C.W. Hillegas and was around a reported gold strike in 1912. The mine name commemorates Watelet, a native Belgian, who was mistakenly thought to be French. The townsite was named to honor Hillegas.

A mining camp on the Colorado River above Cottonwood Cove. The camp is now under Lake Mohave.

The upper level concrete mixing plant on the Nevada side of the canyon during the construction of Boulder Dam. It was near the Nevada side head tower of the aerial tramway.

Hussey. The properties were part of the Mountain Quail group's holdings. Several carloads of copper ore were shipped from the mine and while promise was high, Hussey apparently failed as sources reveal nothing about Hussey after 1907.

The White Star Plaster Company built a mill along the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake RR, Saint Thomas Branch. A town soon followed. The name Huppton came from A.C. Hupp, the general manager of the company. There were about 250 men employed. Hupton had a post office (December 1922 - December 1925), school and stores. A narrow gauge railroad connected the quarry site and the mill. Economic failure occurred in 1925 and the company filed for bankruptcy. The town soon faded away.

A camp associated with a railroad switching point at the gravel plant on the old Six Companies RR. The railroad branched at Junction City, with one line going to the Arizona gravel pits and the other going along the river into Black Canyon to the dam site. The railroad station at Junction City may have been named Gravel Plant.

Became the crossroads settlement for Mormon travelers beginning in 1869. Abandoned when the Mormons were ordered to return to Utah. They returned in 1880 and the settlement was renamed Rioville. However, the area slowly faded during the 1890s and but retained its post office until 1906. Foundations and rubble remain.

A promotional scam that led to the formation of a town in 1904 near the future site of Platina but which was fairly quick abandoned. Platinum was discovered in 1914, a rare commodity. Platina was the main town of half a dozen that sprang up. By 1915, the town had many businesses and 200 people. However, most was false promotion and when very little was produced, the town was abandoned by 1918. Only foundations remain.
