About Crystal
Crystal is a former unincorporated community in Clark County, Nevada, situated along the Union Pacific Railroad. By 1941 its entire population numbered just ten people, and the settlement never grew into anything larger.
Today the site functions as a highway rest stop. There are no historic structures or townsite remains to explore — visitors passing through will find a practical stopping point rather than a ghost town with visible character.
