I may have a copy of an SP map from the 1906 era. But, I don't have a scan of it. I might be able to post it in a week after I return from a vacation and make a scan at work,

There was the typical and simple C&C three tracks at the depot. The engine house and turntable were at the end of a short track that pointed away from the depot. [Look at the photo and you will see the depot in the background. the track at the right in the photo is the one coming in from Junction.]

The far tail track went off to one of the mines.

There was a Fairbanks track scale that was installed when the railroad arrived.

The turntable was relocated from the V&T.

P.S. The map in Farrel's book has a problem or two in regard to the wagon roads in the area.
