More model informationLocated in the Bureau of Land Management’s Stillwater Field Office management area in Nevada, the Rock Creek Transcontinental Telegraph Station served as a telegraph repeater and maintenance station for the first transcontinental telegraph line, which was completed between Carson City and Omaha in 1861.
The line was abandoned in August 1869. The completion of the transcontinental railroad and its parallel telegraph line along the Humboldt River to the north spelled the demise for this station.
