## What we know

Marked 'Coal Shed?' beside the railroad between Larkspur and Greenland on the society's Earth map, with the society's own question mark and no description (S-0123). In 1902 the Santa Fe was reported ready to move its coal chutes from Palmer Lake to Larkspur (S-0122); whether this is related is not known.

## Where it was

Pin in the Larkspur Historical Society's Google Earth version of the county map ('DC Resources,' top-level point), read from the feature's card on screen, 2026-10-07 (S-0123). Good to a few hundred feet as a pin; what stood here is unconfirmed.

Placed from a written description, such as a land section, a distance from a landmark or an old survey note.
