Goldfield, Mining heritage site in Nevada, United States.
The former gold mining center stands at 1,733 meters elevation in southwestern Nevada, surrounded by desert terrain and mountain ranges.
The discovery of gold in 1902 transformed Goldfield into Nevada's largest city by 1906, with a population reaching 20,000 during the mining peak.
The Goldfield Historic District preserves 120 buildings from 1904 to 1909, displaying the architectural elements of early Nevada mining settlements.
The Esmeralda County School District operates elementary education facilities, while students attend Tonopah High School in the neighboring county.
The town extracted over 86 million dollars worth of gold between 1903 and 1940, representing a substantial portion of Nevada's mineral production.
