I like the pictures too...they do have a charm to them as well as they do resemble an old western movie.
I love the mountains in the background ...to me it has somewhat of a serene look and feel to them.
Las Vegas is the closest big city at 130 miles away. There are several small cities in close range:

Bullhead City/Laughlin 15 miles
Kingman 30 miles
Lake Havasu City 30 miles

Basically Oatman is in the population center of Mohave County, its amazing something like it hasn't been swallowed up by modern America. There are so many of these towns just laying around in Arizona. Some are in better condition than others, I guess arid environment preserves them.
