The Seven Troughs Range is a mountain range in western Pershing County, Nevada.[1]

The name is derived from a series of seven stock watering troughs placed below a set springs.[2][3]

Neighboring features include:[4][5]

Mining camps

[edit]

Along the southeast margin of the range above Sage Valley are several ghost towns dating from the early 1900s, which served the gold mining activity in the canyons. Below Seven Troughs Canyon was Seven Troughs. Running from northeast to southwest are the sites of Farrell, Mazuma, and Vernon.[6][7]
