  S-MT-Town.JPG - This is the site of what was once Bullion City, founded in the 1870s, and one of the first mining towns in the Owyhee Mountains. For several years it had the only smelter in Idaho. Later with the establishment of a post office the name was changed to South Mountain City. As with most mining towns of the west, it eventually died out. Today the land is private property, but the road is still open through to the top of South Mountain.
