1. Water Reservoir Marker
Wells, springs and run-off could not supply enough fresh water for the station. This 300,000 gallong concrete reservoir and five large wooden water tanks were built to store water. To keep them full, a barge regularly ferried fresh water to the site. Today, the reservoir collects rainwater for landscape irrigation.
