A few sources also identify Old River as a station.
Like other stations along this route, Old River began about July 1861 as a stop on the Overland Mail Company line.
The station stood between Stillwater and Bisby’s, and the Pony Express reportedly may also have stopped at Old River during the last several months of its existence.

Speaking of mobile apps, two of my favorite mobile apps for exploring the southwest are two different mapping apps one that builds your schedule and the other helps me look to see if my rural destination is taking me to private or public lands. Highly recommend both!
