A man operating construction vehicles for use on the Hoover Dam, ready to take the necessary materials from the Boulder camp site.

The original Wahmonie Townsite Company was doing a brisk business selling lots in the new camp. Wahmonie came on the scene following the discovery of rich gold-silver ore near the site January 31, 1928. Within a month the population reached 200. A post office opened in April serving over 800 people and by mid-summer, the town reached its peak of over 1,000 residents. George Wingfield of Goldfield fame purchased the most promising properties and began immediate development. Unfortunately, the ore did not continue with depth and Wahmonie was abandoned within a year. Wahmonie was located 35 miles southeast of Beatty and the site lies within the Las Vegas Bombing and Gunnery range.
