Esmeralda County is in southern central Nevada with California to the southwest. Boundary Peak (13,140'), the highest point in Nevada is here. Esmeralda County contains 3,588 square miles of land and almost no surface water. Most folks think the name was given by an early miner, J. M. Corey, after the gypsy dancer in Victor Hugo's novel The Hunchback of Notre Dame. At 0.194-people-per-square mile (in 2007), Esmeralda County has the second lowest density population in the 48 contiguous states. The county seat is Goldfield. |
