| | |
| The site of Seven Troughs is evidence of the temporary nature of mining camps.
| |
| With only a few stone foundations and a rusting headframe to mark its location,
| |
| it won't be long before it is completely unmarked.
| |
| | |
| Seven Troughs is located about 30 miles northwest of Lovelock.
| |
| To reach the site, head directly north of central Lovelock
| |
| on State Route 398 (North Meridian Road), then turn west on SR 399.
| |
| Continue for 27 miles, following the signs.
| |
| | |
| Gold was discovered in the Seven Troughs Canyon in 1905
| |
| (the surrounding mountain range is also named Seven Troughs).
| |
| Within two years, the area experienced a boom, which attracted several hundred miners.
