Try the above and select Esmeralda then search on name with Trail in it. Trail Canyon
runs along Trail Creek which connects with Rock Creek.
Was there a postmark for "Trail Creek, Nevada" or was the letter only datelined
"Trail Creek"? It could be that the person writing it wanted to memorialize
that it was written FROM Trail Creek, not that Trail Creek had a post office.

Message Board Post:
Thanks so much for a quick response. I know about the stream because that's the
only Trail Creek that comes up on the USGS website and listed in Humboldt, Esmeralda, Nye,
and Elko counties.
What I'm looking for is the location of the post office known as Trail Creek as this
was the family's address in 1905. Most likely in someone's home, but a post
office nonetheless and likely no longer exists.
Is there a listing somewhere of "extinct" post offices in Nevada? Many states
have such a listing, but does Nevada have one?
I tried MapQuest (which I don't like and never have) and no results were produced
because MapQuest only produces results for what exists today, and not yesterday.
That's why I use the USGS website. The unfortunate part is that the U.S. Census
Bureau has disconnected the link to their maps from the USGS search results, and those
maps were the very best and I really miss them.
Thanks again.
