for the valley of the same name Fish Lake Valley Fish Lake Valley is a ghost town located in Esmeralda County, Nevada and Inyo County, California . It is just east of the White Mountains California , the highest range entirely within the Great Basin at convert 14252 ft m . There is sufficient rain and snow at high elevations to feed permanent streams from the mountains, providing irrigation for alfalfa and other crops, although the valley s elevation, in excess of convert 4000 ft , is a serious constraint. History Fish Lake Valley was originally settled in 1866, when the Palmetto Mining District in Esmeralda County was formed, and settlement in Fish Lake Valley began. During the 1870s two companies, Griffing & Nyman s and Pacific Borax Works were located here extracting borax at Fish Lake. The Carson and Columbus Stagecoach Stage Line ran north from Fish Lake Valley to Aurora, Nevada Aurora and Carson City , also connecting with Logsprings, Nevada in the Sylvania Mining District as well as Lida, Nevada Lida in the Sylvania Mountains . Local ranches supplied food to the freight industry and mining communities such as Fish Lake Valley. A post office opened in Fish Lake Valley in 1881.
