Access to Fish Slough.
Part of the Fish Slough wetland was pioneered by Phillip Keough in 1890, who set up a stage stop near the northwest spring. The Fish Slough Road became a main wagon route to the prosperous mining camps of Benton Hot Springs, Bodie and Aurora. Freight and supplies were transported on this route, which also served as a cattle driveway. Settlers traveled this rutted and sandy road from as far north as Reno and Carson City. | |||||||||||||||||
