From the Nye County, Nevada Photograph Collection (PH-00221) -- Series III. Beatty, Nevada -- Subseries III.A. Brockman Family. In the early 1950s, Gordon Bettles and his wife, Billie, moved into the abandoned T&T Ranch in the Amargosa Farm Area, Nye County, Nev. Bettles was the first occupant of the Farm Area since the closure of the T&T Railroad years before.

Lisle Family. By this time Panamint City was pretty much a ghost town, but Ralph Lisle and his partners lived here while working a nearby tungsten mine. Because there was no road from Panamint City to the Mine, all transporting was done by burros, shown here loaded with cargo.
