## What we know

Golddale post office, June 29, 1882 to Feb. 12, 1885, George S. McCracken postmaster, mail to Franktown (Bauer, Post Offices of Douglas County, 2003, via S-0123). Bauer puts it about three miles south of Russellville, so the office was not at Russellville itself (see the Russellville entry).

## Where it was

Bauer's description, as given on the county map (DCHR-144, S-0123): a ranch in the northeast quadrant of Russellville Road and Anderson Road (County Road 52), 3.3 miles south of Tomichi Road, the road to the Russellville site; the map's pin is there. Good to a few hundred feet.

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