Treasure Hill is an east-jutting spur of the White Pine Range of White Pine County in the central eastern part of Nevada. Hamilton is situated at the northern base of the hill while Treasure City is situated on the hill, 2.5 miles from Hamilton. By early 1881 the mining activity had collapsed as the mining of the hill was dependent on the now depleted deposits. As a result, by 1888 there were only 24 people living there with the principal towns of Hamilton at the base of the hill, the Treasure City on the hill side and the Shermantown went into oblivion.
