Posey Creek Station of the Butterfield Overland Mail was located on Poso or Posey Creek, two and one-half miles east of the intersection of Glennville-Bakersfield/Granite Road and Round Mountain Road in Kern County, California. The California Historical Landmark Marker Number 539 at the intersection is seen on the left when traveling south on Glennville-Bakersfield/Granite Road.[1] The station was at the site of the earlier Depot Camp on Posey Creek, established by the 1853 Pacific Railroad Survey Expedition of the U.
