The Geologist's or Stone Cabin at Anvil Spring. This is the smallest yet nicest of the cabins in Butte Valley. Anvil Spring was named in 1867 when a blacksmith's anvil was recovered from the small pool at the spring. The anvil had been thrown in seven years earlier by prospectors frustrated at not finding any gold and unwilling to haul the anvil any further.
