Joseph Dorton built a stable and operated the station for the Pony Express here.

View to the southwest along trail route towards Camp Floyd station. 6/61."
75.2.11B = Close-up view of depression that was the well at the Pony Express station. Legend: "A hole at the site of Joe's Dugout is said to have been a deep well, dug by hand, in a futile attempt to provide water for station use. (A well further along the trail in Rush Valley was drilled later for railroad use and went to more than 600 feet before reaching water.). Utah, 6/61"
