Stateline - Utah Ghost Town

STATELINE

NAME: Stateline
COUNTY: Iron
ROADS: 2WD
Grid #: 7
CLIMATE: snow in winter, hot in summer
BEST TIME TO VISIT: Summer

COMMENTS: I have never been there personally, but my brother went in early spring and reported several standing structures. The best way to get there is to turn north on a good 2wd dirt road in Modena on highway 56. Then drive into Hamlin Valley and turn West toward the Nevada border on a 4wd road marked as Stateline road.
REMAINS: Several standing structures

Gold an Silver were discovered in Stateline Canyon in 1894 and soon a town sprung up. Then in 1896 the Ophir mine was discovered and a large population boom took place. By 1903 there were approximately 300 peple living here and there were many general stores. But as with most mining towns the ore started to play out around 1910 and by 1918 there were only 18 people left. Minor mining activity has continued in the area ever since.
