What we know

Established 1923 (county map, citing the 1937 aerial photograph, S-0123).

Where it was

On the fringe of the Divide outline (3.4 miles outside its edge), included as a fringe place. Pin on the Douglas County Historic Resource Map (DCHR-062; S-0123). Where that map and ours place the same site, the pins mostly fall within about 300 feet. 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.
