1916: "This station is located in Elk District, Mineral County, eight miles from Barnum, and is under the supervision of F.M. Glenn. The station may be reached on foot from Barnum, but carriages or automobiles can get within one mile of station by going from Piedmont. The elevation is 3,327 feet and commands a view of about 800 square miles. The watchman, Charles H. Broadwater, lives five miles from the station, and goes home each night. The station is only one story high, but a cabin will be built in the near future so that the watchman may remain there overnight in extremely dry weather. He receives his mail from Barnum three times each week, and telegrams may be delivered to him from the same point by phone within ten minutes.
Seven miles of phone line have been built to this station, three miles being known as the 'New Creek Line,' and connecting with the Mutual Lines at New Creek. This line is built on both poles and trees and is in fair condition." (4th Biennial Report of the Forest, Game and Fish Warden)
