Why this spot
1907-1918 Seven Troughs district mining camp
Mining camp below Seven Troughs Canyon, founded in 1907, where a flash flood on July 1912 killed eight people, including the postmistress, and destroyed buildings. The post office moved to Seven Troughs that November, and the nearby Darby Mill ran until it was dismantled in 1918.View source →
