Pine Grove.....[Lyon] An early settlement in Pine Grove Canyon; a flat northeast of the
canyon; a summit in the Pine Grove Hills, where Fremont, in 1844, first encountered the
nut pine tree; and a mining district, discovered in 1865 on the east slope of the Pine
Grove Hills, twenty-three miles south of Yerington.
Do a search on Google for Pine Grove, Lyon County, Nevada and you will see a number of
references.
Regards, Arline in Nevada
