A Southern Pacific section town in the bootheel desert where water arrived by tank car and cost a dollar a barrel. When the railroad ended the stop in 1944 the residents were told to take what they could carry. The buildings stand beside the interstate, kept by one family.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
