Approximate location — plotted from published sources, not a site visit, and not a guarantee of access.
Aurum is a little-visited White Pine County mining camp with stone foundations and scattered relics in high desert hills. Boom-and-bust cycles left little standing, which rewards slow walking and careful photography. Remote dirt access; pack water and treat every artifact as protected under ARPA.
