Description
In the spring of 1978, the Bureau of Land Management contracted with the University of Nevada, Reno (ContractNo.NV950-CT8-0011) to conduct I preliminary historical and archaeological studies on two historic sites, designated as Rock Creek Stage Station (Cr-Nv-03-1119) and Rock Creek Telegraph Station (Cr-Nv-03-1120). Both belong to a complex of 19th century transportation and communications facilities tying together the eastern “heartland” of American civilization with its expanding western frontier. The sites are situated in the Edwards Creek Valley along side U.S. Route 50 at a point 60 miles east of Fallon, Nevada.
