Ashford Mill is a former mill in Inyo County, California.[2] It was located in Death Valley,[3] at an elevation of 121 feet (37 m) below sea level.[1] The place is now protected ruins within Death Valley National Park.
The original mill at the site was built in 1914 by brothers named Ashford.[3] The ore was processed here from the Golden Treasure Mine 5 miles to the east in the Amargosa Range, and processed for further smelting.
