Seven Troughs is a ghost town in Pershing County, Nevada, United States. [2]
The settlement was founded in 1906 after gold was discovered in Seven Troughs Canyon the prior year. There was a rush of people to the area, and by 1907, the mining camp had a post office, hotel, multiple saloons, stores and a population of 350. A water system and school were built in 1908. The settlement thrived until World War I, with the robust production of the nearby Kindergarten mine and mill. The local mines produced two millions dollars in gold from 1908 to 1918. By 1918, the post office had closed and the town declined to a few transient miners. [3] [4] [5]

Poeville, also known as Peavine until 1863, is the site of a historical mining town, established in 1864. John Poe, a professional promoter from Michigan allegedly related to Edgar Allan Poe, discovered rich gold and silver veins in 1862 on the slopes of Peavine Mountain. After the discovery of ore, Poe announced that the veins comprised the next Comstock Lode; he presented extracted ore at the state fair of 1864 as rich in content. As a result, the former mining camp, called Poe City (Poeville) or Podunk (Poedunk), grew to 200 people by 1864. Ore production in the mining district and population peaked around 1873-1874 with several hundred people living in town, supported by three hotels and a post office. The post office, named "Poeville", operated between September 1, 1874, and March 24, 1878.
