Scotty's Junction was originally a stop on the Bullfrog Goldfield Railroad at Sarcobatus Flats/Tolicha for the Bonnie Claire Mines and the town of Bonnie Claire. The B&G was a short-lived Railroad and it along with the LV&T were acquired by the T&T and combined for the shortest route. Supplies to build Scotty's Castle were trucked from the Bonnie Claire Depot to the Castle site. In fact, the last delivery this train would ever make would be construction supplies for Scotty's Castle, the tracks literally torn up and scrapped after this last delivery and the ties taken to the Castle to be used for fire wood.
The 'Scotty's Junction Earthquake' of August 1, 1999 was a 5.6 magnitude earthquaketemblor centered 7 mi (11 km) to the north.
The Timbisha Shoshone Homeland Act of 2000 provides for transfer to the Timbisha tribe of 2800 acres (11 km³) of land and an annual 375.5 acre-feet (463,000 m³) of ground water around Scotty's Junction.
