Gordons Ferry was an overhead cable type of ferry operated during the 1850's by
Major Gordon. An adobe station house was located on the south bank of Kern River, just a few yards
to the west of this marker. It was also a station on the Butterfield Overland Mail stage route
from 1858 to 1860.
Nothing remains of this site.
