What Was

Nevada Hills could have been called "New Fairview" as it was basically just Fairview that moved two miles closer to the mines. I hear it was sometimes referred to as "Upper Fairview" just because it was easier.

Post Office: Oct. 9, 1907- Mar. 19, 1908

Newspaper: None

What is

Since Nevada Hills is "up the road a piece" from Fairview is hasn't been picked entirely clean. There is debris and some interesting artifacts laying about, but for the most part there isn't much there except a sense of history. For ruins, you have to continue up the road to the mines and the mill.

The "More Pictures from Nevada Hills" link will take you to the same page at the "More pictures from Fairview" page because (a) I'm lazy, and (b) sometimes I'm not exactly sure which ones belong where and (c) they are sometimes labeled "Fairview" when it's actually "Upper Fairview" and (d)I'm lazy.

Not much left these days
Some folks went out of their way to make things nice- this fence was probably quite attractive in its day
