Pioche NV cemetery 3884ax

Pioche cemetery -- the plots in the foreground are in the area described as "Boot Hill." When Pioche was first being settled in the 1870's there was quite a bit of lawlessness and many of the victims of that lawlessness are buried in this area. The towers, buckets, and cables going over the cemetery carried ore from the mines above town, to the mill below (the red stacks to the left of center).
