Mazuma

Mazuma is a ghost town in Pershing County, Nevada, best remembered today for a tragic flash flood on July 11, 1912, that claimed eight lives during its time as a small mining community.

Visitors to the site will find little more than the remote high desert setting that once supported this short-lived town. The sparse remains and the story of the 1912 disaster are the primary draws for history-minded travelers and ghost town enthusiasts.
