Why this spot
1906-1931 gold mill and railroad town
Town on Sarcobatus Flat that grew from the 1880s Thorp's Wells mill camp into a supply and milling point for the Slate Ridge gold mines once two railroads arrived in 1906. It declined after 1914, served as a supply point for building Scotty's Castle in the 1920s, and its post office closed in 1931.View source →
