Mount Bullion was once a small town in Alpine County, California. It was also known by other names like Bulliona, Bullona, Bullionae, and just Bullion. Today, it is no longer an active town.

What Was Mount Bullion?

Mount Bullion was a former mining town. This means it was a place where people lived and worked, usually digging for valuable minerals like gold or silver. When the mines ran out of minerals, or it became too hard to get them, people often moved away. This left the town empty, turning it into what some call a "ghost town."

Where Was Mount Bullion Located?

This old town was found where two waterways meet: the Carson River and Monitor Creek. It was quite high up, at an elevation of 5,712 feet (which is about 1,741 meters) above sea level. This location is in the beautiful and often rugged area of Alpine County, California.
