Goodsprings is an unincorporated community in Clark County, Nevada, United States.[3] The Pioneer Saloon and the Goodsprings School house were both built in 1913 and are still in use to this day. The town was once a prosperous mining town before seeing a significant decline in the population.[4] The population was 229 as of the 2010 census.[5] Due to this, the town of Goodsprings has been characterized as a ghost town.[6]
