Infobox

Lat/Long
The lat/long that I added the the infobox (38°32′27″N 102°31′43″W / 38.54083°N 102.52861°W / 38.54083; -102.52861) was based on the location in the National Register listing: "Near jct. of Cty Rd. 54 and Cty Rd. W".[1] I am sure it is off by at least a few seconds (maybe even a minute) in any direction, I just don't know which. If anyone can pin-point it better, please update the location in the infobox.

Visitation
As a new site, I left the visitation blank for now.

Area
The area is approximate, based on the wording in the NPS announcement that it is "situated on over 12,000 acres".[2]

the name of this article

should (opinion) not have been changed without discussion here. I am NOT in favor of the change because the US government uses the Capito "M". ^[1] So we should do the same.
