Manhattan NV (1957)

Manhattan NV (1957)
Manhattan, Nevada. Largely abandoned former mining town. Looking west from the east end of town.

Per various websites, the town basically came into existence in about 1905 and was really active with mining only until some time in the 1910's. Considering the various buildings and equipment, it seems like the town was still relatively occupied into the 1940's, possibly with people working at other nearby mines.

One fun aspect of ipernity is that it lists the location of all photos as "Town, Nation" as opposed to the "Town, State" we Americans are more familiar with. So this came across as "Manhattan, United States," which made me chuckle. New Yorkers are probably less appreciative.

This looks like a neat little place. I love coming across spots like this.

There's new activity, what with the run-up in precious metals prices. There's even a new, albeit small (4 rooms) motel! Stayed there a few years ago--

First time I was there was some time in the mid-2000's and there was more activity then (a motel, restaurant) than there was on this trip.
