This branch left the Southern Pacific (now Union Pacific) Sunset route near Winterhaven, CA, just west of the Colorado River crossing. It headed north, roughly followed the west bank of the Colorado River as far north as the Imperial Dam; it was most likely used for the construction of the Imperial Dam on the Colorado River. There are no signs or other evidence of the physical location of "Potholes", though a particular railroad map places it at the location of Laguna Dam.
