WARNING! Snakes, Spiders and Scorpions all around....Ask how I know LOL.
This one is: Carrara!
Located at: N 36.798748, W 116.712014
Hint: Under rock pile.
The site is located in the Amargosa Desert southeast of Beatty. The old Tonopah and Tidewater Railroad line was about one half mile to the southwest. An old road, previously a railroad grade, runs straight for about 3 miles to the northeast up Carrara Canyon on the southeast flank of the Bare Mountains to an old marble quarry. The quarry is about 1400 feet higher in elevation than the site.
A post office was established at Carrara in 1913, and remained in operation until 1924. The community was named after the Carrara marble.
