The station was located on property owned by Abel Head "Shanghai" Pierce, whose nearby ranch was managed by his nephew A. P. Borden.

Russian and Chinese workers were imported to work on the farm and Borden built homes for them near his company store.

In 1922, Borden retired from managing the Pierce Ranch to run his own 5,000 acres (2,023 ha) farm from a large house in Mackay.

In 2014, there were four structures in the area, a gun store, a small house, a grain silo and a combination filling station and restaurant.

Bosque Creek flows southeast through the area before emptying into the Colorado River, south of Wharton.
