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