Kenneth Jessen photo collectionNotesDerived title. Photographer's note: "Wolf Creek was a rural post office that was in operation from 1910 to 1919 and named after a nearby creek. There are two sites, however, with one along Wolf Creek Road near Lloyd Road. There are modern homes with no sign of older structures. The 1910 site is on the north side of County Road 194 (County Line Road) a mile west of Wolf Creek Road. This site has a number of abandoned buildings with one commercial structure made of adobe covered with a thin layer of stucco. The original settlers started arriving after 1900; prior to this, the land was vacant. Charlie Elliott established a ranch along County Line Road in a grove of trees and in 1910, constructed a store. It housed the post office and became a gathering place for the community."DonorGift; Kenneth Jessen; 2020.
