Blair
Blair is a historic site in Nevada, at a recorded elevation of 1,407 m. Piper Peak stands 2,880 m to the west-southwest, 16 miles off. The nearest named place is Blair Stamp Mill, a historic site 0.4 miles away. 87 named places lie within 25 miles, 34 of them named summits.
Lots of concrete ruins both at the town site and mill site, spread over a wide area. Easy to get to. We wanted to check out the mine that fed the mill, but the road to the mines in Eagle Canyon is gated and locked.
