The description "located on the Southern Pacific" in Lassen County usually means a Nevada-California-Oregon Railway station/siding, and that's we've got here, with the minor variation of there being some foundations to see, mostly for the water tank shown in the topos. Those maps show precious little else, though, except for two other railroad-related buildings. Gudde has only a passing mention, and Fairchild's history of the county mentions the eponymous lake and its surroundings several times, but nothing about a town or settlement, except for a ranch which it isn't clear was here. The lake makes searching a great pain, not to mention the hits on every "__ Horse Lake" in California and several other states, but I can find no evidence this was anything but a water stop.
