Welcome to the SEARCHLIGHT GOLD BEAM

“We hope to share our deep affection for this part of the world with you, through science, art, history, culture, advice and games - all wrapped up with a double dose of desert humor.”

—Kim Garrison Means & Steve Radosevich, Editors

The Searchlight Gold Beam is a yearly publication in which we investigate the cultural, ecological and historical treasures of the Searchlight area and beyond, to orient visitors and keep them safe and respectful while exploring the tip of Southern Nevada, and to build new connections within and between our local rural, tribal and urban communities.

ISSUE #2, DREAMS & VISIONS, IS NOW HERE!

The full-length color edition of the Gold Beam is now available at select locations.
