Why this spot
1890s+ Sanborn-mapped town on Fall River, fed by warm mineral springs, in a sandstone canyon on the south edge of the Hills
A warm-springs health resort that boomed in the late 1880s with sandstone bathhouses and hotels; the earliest Sanborn documents the young resort town along the river.
