The formation was once considered sacred by Native Americans who seasonally lived in the area. It was mined in the 1950s for commercial use in roofing materials. Roofing granules were produced in six colors: light green, blue-green, purple, bronze, pink, and blue, according to a California Division of Mines and Geology report.<\/p><p>Splitting from SC176 and onto SC251 will lead you to Butterbredt Springs.

She was born in Silver City, New Mexico, in 1875. She taught school and married Herbert H. Bishop in 1896, eventually bearing him seven children. Josie and Herbert went their separate ways and Josie became a prospector in Kern County. Her radium find never made her a rich woman. She died in an automobile accident in 1951 and is buried on her claim, next to son, Charlie, who died of tuberculosis in 1948.
