## What we know

An earlier Larkspur creamery operated from 1896.

## Where it was

Read from the 1956 Douglas County map inset of Larkspur with handwritten labels (Larkspur Book 1, Larkspur Historical Society binder 1 p. 220), georeferenced from its Secs. 27/28/33/34 corner (T9S R67W) and its 0.3-mile scale bar; good to about 200 feet. The same method puts the map's 'School' within 300 feet of GNIS's Larkspur post office, the old school building. Marr: 'the Carlson Frink creamery stood a short distance south of the depot, and the main road passed by it' (Larkspur Historical Society binder 1); on the 1956 map it sits beside the D&RG and the road junction.

Placed from a written description, such as a land section, a distance from a landmark or an old survey note.
