During the very brief period from 1858 until the American civil war began in 1861 the Butterfield stage ran from St. Louis to San Francisco.
Setting this up was quite an accomplishment. This was the longest stage coach trail anywhere in the world.
West of Lordsburg, New Mexico and North of the Ghost Town named Steins there is a relatively well preserved foundation of the Steins Butterfield Stage station.
The GPS coordinates are N 32.333806 W -109.02778
You drive North between the playa on the east and the mountains on the west. If you are willing to drive approximately 30 miles over dirt roads you see some beautiful country and at the end are treated to a delightfully preserved 150 year old stage station.
