The view of a street passing through Searchlight, Nevada. Formed in 1897, Searchlight is an old boomtown that was made popular when George Frederick Colton discovered gold at the location where the town is now built. Different shops and automobiles line the sides of the dirt road, while mountains and shrubs lie in the distance. Stores that reside on the left side of the street include The Big Store grocery and supply store, Arrowhead Garage, and a cafe. Buildings such as a garage and the Nevada Hotel stand on the opposing right side of the street. Transcribed onto the bottom of the postcard: "Searchlight, Nevada." The Frasher's Foto logo is also printed onto the bottom right corner.
