- A temporary camp established sometime
in June 1864, and lasting for about a month, as a base of operations
for a regional reconnaissance, it was situated almost on the
newly surveyed boundary line between California and Nevada. At
the time the post was established the area was in Lake County,
Nevada. But since the survey it has been divided between Washoe
County, Nevada, and Lassen County, California. The camp was occupied
by Captain A. B Wells, commanding Company D, 1st Nevada Volunteers,
during the expedition from Fort Churchill to the Humboldt River,
by way of Smoke Creek Valley, Nevada, and Surprise Valley, California.
