Homestead house constructed on John Yount's homestead location: photographic print
Date
Archival Collection
Description
From the Nye County, Nevada Photograph Collection (PH-00221) -- Series IV. Pahrump, Nevada -- Subseries IV.D. Wiley Family. Homestead house constructed on John Yount's homestead location at the south end of Pahrump Valley, Nevada. The house looked pretty much as it does here when Roland Wiley acquired John Yount's ranch in 1936. The house was constructed of 2-by-4s on 4-foot centers with the 2-by-4s standing sideways. In 1941, Roland Wiley removed the bat and board and installed Johns Manville shingles. Wiley acquired John Yount's ranch from Belle Yount, common-law wife of John Yount, following John Yount's death. On the left is a cherry tree that was watered by hand from a well about 300 feet away.

Buildings located on Roland Wiley's Hidden Hills Ranch: photographic print
Date
Archival Collection
Description
From the Nye County, Nevada Photograph Collection (PH-00221) -- Series IV. Pahrump, Nevada -- Subseries IV.D. Wiley Family. The site where the buildings are located was known by Wiley and others as Dora's Place, where Dora Brown and her family resided. When Wiley purchased the Hidden Hills Ranch, Dora Brown lived in John Yount's cabin. When Wiley occupied the property in 1941, Dora Brown moved to the site pictured here. All but one of the buildings pictured were eventually burned down and the willow trees in the canyon were wiped out in a flash flood in the 1970s. The site was obviously occupied by Indians in the previous times, as evidenced by holes in rock formations nearby that are 6 to 8 inches in diameter and 12 to [8] inches deep, in which Indians ground grain. Rider on horse unidentified.
