This is a great guide to the abandoned mining towns littering the outback of Nevada andCalifornia. There's more towns dead than alive out there! Modern cities and highways are shownin black ink, and the ghost towns and historic places in red, complete with anecdotesdocumenting their significance and the years they existed. Useful in combination with Delorme'sNevada and California atlases (which you might need to actually find these towns, given the small scale of the ghost town maps).
