California Spring

California Spring, or Yellow Banks, a spring at the headwaters of Evans Creek, in Val Verde County, 4.8 miles northeast of Comstock.[1]

History

California Spring was a water stop on the San Antonio-El Paso Road, 15.73 miles northwest of Painted Caves and 2 miles southeast of Willow Spring another water stop on the old road.[2] Shallow wells were dug for easier access to the water. A pool of water existed at the spring until the 1930s. Now the channel is filled with gravel.[1]
