Heads up if you hit the ghost town outside Ely, Nevada, the site markers there are barely holding on

I drove out to the old mining camp near Ely last weekend and half the interpretive signs at the stone foundations are bent or sun-bleached to nothing. A ranger told me they only get one maintenance pass a year, so people keep walking right over the low walls not knowing they're original 1880s masonry. Does anyone know who to contact about flagging a site like this before more of it gets trampled?
