Following the American Civil War a traveller's guide to the American West published in 1866 reported that it was 343 miles from San Diego Barracks to Oatman Flat via the wagon roads and footpaths of the day.

The flat is now farmland that covers the sites of the old stations, but the Oatman Grave and Fourr Cemetery are still to be found.
