South Fork is an unincorporated community semi-ghost town in Elko County, Nevada in the United States.[1]
This region was settled by white men in 1867. South Fork was a stagecoach stop and there was a big hotel which closed in 1871. In 1874, the post office was reopened and closed in 1877. The area is now known as Shepherd's Station, a recreation park that offers fishing, hunting and camping.[2]
