The Walking Box Ranch Collection (1880-1979, bulk 1930-1945) contains digital images compiled by the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) Public Lands Institute. The collection consists of images of the Walking Box Ranch (Searchlight, Nevada), the Mojave Desert, and the Bell Family, consisting of American film stars Rex Bell, Clara Bow, and their children. There are also candid and professional photographs of Rex Bell and Clara Bow taken at various locations, some of which include friends and other family members, as well as a large number of unidentified film stills from Rex Bell movies. Images in this collection are from Bell family photograph albums and assorted prints, and were reformatted into digital images by the UNLV Public Lands Institute.
Rocks spell out "Pahrump" on the desert floor. Handwritten inscription with photo reads: "15' x 3' white washed rocks spell PAHRUMP, a 99's project to identify locations for flyers on the Dorothy ranch in Pahrump. The 99's were guests at our house with the planes tied down on our runway. That sign helped many planes to locate themselves. Dale's "ham" shortwave [was] the only communication in the valley."
