Ghost town in Nevada, United States
Crystal Springs is a ghost town in the Pahranagat Valley region of Lincoln County , Nevada in the United States. The ghost town is located at the junction of State Route 318 and State Route 375 (Extraterrestrial Highway) , just northwest of U.S. Route 93 . It is a popular destination for passersby who want to visit the towns of Hiko and Rachel . The namesake of the ghost town, the Crystal Springs , lies nearby; it is a large group of marshes and springs along the White River .[2] Crystal Springs provides irrigation for multiple nearby ranches and farms, some of which lie over 5 miles away from the springs.
The ghost town is marked as Nevada Historical Marker 205 (Crystal Springs).[3]
History
[ edit ]
The earliest reported uses of the spring were by a Native American village.[4] The springs provided water for people traveling the Mormon Trail .[5]
In 1865, Crystal Springs was the first area in Lincoln County where mining grade silver ore was discovered.[5] This led to Crystal Springs becoming the first county seat of Lincoln County from 1866 to 1867, although it was later replaced by Hiko .[3] [6]
Hot springs
[ edit ]
The Crystal Springs thermal spring has a water temperature of 81 °F.[7]
