Diamond Springs is a ghost town and is now located on private property. We did see a historical marker commemorating it, as well as an old cemetery.
In the surrounding fields, we saw wheat, hay fields, and a wooden-post fence with cattle inside. Meadowlarks flitted from post to post in the May sunshine. We also noticed lots of turkey vultures riding the thermals above the fields.
We noticed a really pretty house with a sign out front: Wm. Atkinson and Sons. I couldn't find much about Mr. Atkinson, except in this interesting article about the town of Burdick, which suggests he may have had some questionable business practices.
Most of the land in this area is fenced in and bears signs announcing that it is the property of "Diamond Creek Ranch - No Trespassing."
