St. Mary's is a ghost town located in present-day Pershing County.[1][2][3]
Rathbun writes that the station and hotel was used by the military in 1864. The location was a common crossing place on the Humboldt and meeting place. The location was named for a hotel that was on the north bank of the Humboldt. The location is about a half mile upstream from Rye Patch Reservoir's high water mark.[4]
Note that there is also a St. Mary's Station in Wyoming that was part of the Pony Express.
