Del Monte to Hawthorne. Del Monte is not listed in Nevada Place names. There is a mining camp associated with the Del Monte Mines in Aurora which can be found in Stan Paher's Nevada Ghost Towns & Mining Camps and Sue Silver's Mineral County #3. There was a Del Monte Toll Road. As early as 1878 the rumor of a railroad in Hawthorne peaked the interest of Bodie and Aurora. As plans for a wagon road to connect Hawthorne with Bodie and Aurora were contemplated a road up B odie Creek was determined to be a more direct route that the current route. This road would start at Del Monte, leave the current Carson - Aurora Road near Five Mile House (Fletchers) and provide access to the new railroad over Lucky Boy Pass.

[Sue Silver "Mineral County #3] The Del Monte Toll Road would become part of the Walker Lake and Bodie toll road, which was incorporated in 1880. Date: City: Bodie State: California HWAC# 76051
