Site information:

300 ft SE of Block House #BV4, 1.1 mi N of Buena Vista pumping station, 8 mi E of Taft

The location description above is given by OHP, and while likely accurate, is not entirely helpful.  If using the dirt roads from the south, use caution as they are rough.  Many years ago, we drove along the aquaduct for the 1.1 miles to get to the site, probably on private property, but nobody stopped us.

Nothing remains of this site, as far as I know.
