Seven Troughs

Nevada is ghost-town central: the Comstock made it a state, and a century of played-out bonanzas kept it in ruins.

The Seven Troughs Range is a mountain range in western Pershing County, Nevada. The name is derived from a series of seven stock watering troughs placed below a set springs. Neighboring features include: the Kamma and Antelope ranges to the north the Majuba Mountains to the northeast Sage Valley and Trinity Range to the southeast with Lovelock beyond Granite Springs Valley to the south the Sahwave Mountains and small Blue Wing Mountains to the southwest Kumiva Valley and the Selenite Range to the west Black Rock Desert to the northwest

The on-the-ground condition of Seven Troughs is unverified — it's listed here with unknown status. That could mean standing buildings, or an empty field. Go prepared for either, and consider sharing what you find so the record improves.

Nobody has confirmed the access situation, so treat any visit as reconnaissance: verify land ownership first, and be ready to admire from the road.

Ghost-town etiquette is simple: take only photographs. Removing artifacts is illegal on public lands and disrespectful everywhere else — and on federal land it can be a serious offense.
