Cold Springs Station was a station on the Chico/Idaho stage line.

One source states that it was 20 miles north of the Granite Creek Station, 10 miles south of the Flowing Springs Station.[1]

Another source states that it was one mile from Granite Creek Station to "The American Desert" and then another 22 miles to Cold Springs Station and then 12 miles to Flowing Springs Station.[2]

These measurements suggest, Cold Springs Station was likely at either Barrel Springs or Whiskey Springs.
