BAKER'S RANCH
Site one-half mile west, this ranch station, noted watering hole on the old Chisholm Trail, was attacked in the last Indian Wars and found deserted a few days later, July 5, 1874, by Indian Agent J. D. Miles who asked for U.S. Calvary to guard the trail in this section. This site was laid out in 1890 as Baker City, a ghost town now.
