Colorado City is now a ghost town, in Clark County, Nevada, located under Lake Mohave at the mouth of El Dorado Canyon.
In 1867 it became part of Lincoln County in the state of Nevada.
In 1866, Colorado City became the site of two stamp mills, located there for ease of supplying wood to operate its steam driven mechanism.
One was the old Colorado Mill brought down the canyon from El Dorado City, and refurbished.
What remains of Colorado City lies offshore from the site of Nelson's Landing.
