John L. Powell Homesteads Land (1905) (jan 1, 1905 – jan 1, 1943)
Description:
John L. Powell took advantage of the Homestead Act and received a grant in 1905 for the land that is now Pinehaven, located approximately 1.5 miles north from the center of the Cuchara Village on Highway 12. After John L. Powell passed away in 1920, his children inherited the land. Though they did a bit of logging, the land remained mostly untouched. In 1922, the siblings deeded their interest in the land solely to Charles R. Powell. Charles was also the grandfather of local resident Dick Jameson, who was associated with the family that owned the adjacent Yellow Pine Ranch.Added to timeline:
