What Was

Carson Sink Station was, at one time, a frame house inside adobe walls . It was mentioned that there was a "fine spring of water" within a few feet of the station. At the time, Carson Lake was probably much bigger and much closer, as they mention getting mud from the lake to make the adobe.

What is

In 1960 it was said you could still see the faint remnants of four or five adobe walls facing north. Now, however, unless you knew exactly what you were looking for, you're not going to see much of anything at all. Luckily there are a couple of competing markers standing side by side to tell you that this is the site.

Interestingly, there are seashells everywhere, indicating that this was once sea floor.
