What Was
A station of some sort, and a mill to work the ore from Newpass and possibly surrounding mines. The mill was transported from Austin in the mid-1860's to work ore from Newpass. Pete Peterson owned a ranch in Smith Creek Valley and the mill is named for him, as are the creek and station 22 miles to the south.
Post Office: None
Newspaper: None
What is
The station is now sans roof, there is a large pond of water which isn't warm enough to deserve the name "Warm Springs," and the ruins of a mill-like object to the east. The station is in pretty good shape, made of nice cut rock and adobe. There is a fairly good set of corrals close by that were/are used recently. Probably swarming with bugs in the summer, idyllic in early March.
