Nye County is a big place. If it were a state, it would be the 42nd largest—twice the size of Massachusetts. In addition to wide-open ranges and countless miles of dirt road, this area has a number of the nearly 600 towns that rose and fell in Nevada before the 1900s even had a chance to stretch its legs. While most towns bore fruit only for short periods, they literally left their mark on the state’s landscape.

The best way to discover these fascinating historical sites—around 270 total—is by incorporating them into your next road trip.
