Indian Wells California Historical Landmark
- Indian Wells California Historical Landmark
An Indian Wells California Historical Landmark was erected near the Indian Wells Lodge, 4.9 miles north of Freeman Junction on Highway 14 where William L. Manly found water after his group left Death Valley.
This marker was placed by California Centennials Commission in cooperation with Kern County Historical Society and dedicated on July 9 1950.
The inscription on the plaque reads:
"After five days' travel from the Argus Range, the Manly-Jayhawker parties of 1849 found their first water at this Indian waterhole on the Joseph R. Walker Trail of 1843. During the 1860s, this was the site of a stage and freight station for traffic between Los Angeles and the Coso and Cerro Gordo Mines."
This site is California Historical Landmark #457.
