A barbed wire fence posted with a no trespassing sign is shown on the outskirts of the one-time boomtown of Goldfield, Nevada on Sept. 11, 2009. Goldfield, which in the early 1900s was the largest town in Nevada with a population of 20,000, was the last major gold rush site in the continental United States. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., wants to see the town of 400 recognized as a national park or at minimum receive national historic landmark status.
