Hot Springs Post Office is the a former post office, probably located at present-day Trego.
GNIS has the post office at 40.8604554 -119.3329642, which is near Fly Geyser.
However, Hot Springs is another name for what became Trego.
The Hot Springs Station GNIS cites "Bancroft's Map of California and Nevada: 1868, scale 1 inch=24 miles. H. H. Bancroft & Co., Booksellers & Stationers, San Francisco, Calif. Entered according to an act of Congress, A.D. 1868, by H. H. Bancroft & Company in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States for the Northern District of California." The GNIS entry indicates that the location is approximate. Presumably Hot Springs Station is what is now known as Trego.
The Map of the Western Division of the Fort Kearney South Pass and Honey Lake Road," 1857 shows the location of Trego as "Hot Spr"
William H. Van Alstine was the postmaster of Spring City in Roop County in 1867.[1]
