Why this spot

1910s+ Sanborn-mapped town on On the Beaver River where it leaves the Tushar Mountains, downstream of the San Francisco (Frisco) silver district

Old military and supply town on the Beaver River serving the nearby Frisco silver district; the earliest confirmed Sanborn is 1917, so use the map for layout and expect the oldest deposits along the river and at the fort site rather than downtown.
