The cache is located west of the former site of Fort Independence.
Independence began as a US Army camp established by Colonel George Evans on July 4, 1862. Col. Evans established the camp at the request of local settlers who feared Indian hostilities. The hostilities were caused by settlers laying claim to the prime areas where the native indians had lived for years. The camp was soon closed, but was re-established as Fort Independence when hostilities resumed in 1865. The fort was finally abandoned in 1877
