Why this spot
1856-1911 spring stop and cattle ranch
Spring settlement founded by Ladue Vary in 1856 at the north end of the Smoke Creek Desert, where Frederick Lander met the Paiute leader Numaga in 1860 to negotiate peace. It had post offices in 1866 to 1867 and 1894 to 1911 and became part of Louis Gerlach's cattle and sheep holdings.View source →
