Additional Details:
| This was on the Tonopah and Tidewater railroad that replaced the Twenty mule team that hauled borax out of Death Valley. The town has grown from a sleepy stop to a modern desert town with gas stations, motels, restaurants, and food store. West of Baker is a great dry surface of Soda Lake. Here in 1860 Indians and dragoons of the U.S. Army fought a battle under Lt. Carr. The Army maintained a fort-like camp here until 1866. |
