Several sources identify Big Sandy as a relay station for the Pony Express, including the U.S. mail contract of 1861. When Burton passed through the area, he noted that Big Sandy Creek was a resting stop for the stagecoach and that it was about twenty-nine miles from their previous stop at Pacific Creek. Apparently, a Mormon couple operated Big Sandy Station.(NPS)
