After the discovery of gold in 1901, Atwood came into being, and at one time had a hotel and a post office. Like most camps, when the gold ran out the town dried up. (Paher) |

| WHAT IS |
Something was here, but it's hard to tell what- we couldn't find any foundations or ruins in the area, although there is quite a bit of glass and numerous can dumps in the area. |
