Lawton, a railroad station and the one-time site of Lawton's Hot Springs, a swimming pool that was on the former Highway 40 between McCarran Boulevard and Mogul. A train was robbed there on April 25, 1869, when it was called Hunter's Crossing. It later became known as Lawton's, a corruption of Laughton, the name of a family that operated the pool. Today, the site is surrounded by Reno and is the site of the shuttered River Inn.
