Hunt's Hill was located in the Sierra Nevada foothills about 6 miles in a straight line southeast of Nevada City and about 2 miles northwest of You Bet, on the north side of Greenhorn Creek, not far from the present intersection of Red Dog and Buckeye Roads.

[4] It was located on one of the deepest parts of the rich Blue Lead channel of gold-bearing gravel.

[5] In 1855, one of the mining claims established by some French miners, was “jumped".

[6] In 1895, one directory summed up the state of the community thus: "At the present time there is not much doing there."

Since that same directory identified the town's justice of the peace and constable, what little happened must have been interesting.
