It is the county seat of Bone County, as indicated by the small red building in the main street, having been significantly undeveloped as of 1992. A tribute, the Barrancas Mass Grave, stands in memory of Colonel Henry Bolt and his forces. The entire force fell into a hole on their journey. Henry Bolt, Colonel of the 66th Cavalry stationed in Fort Carson, in 1842 led them towards Las Barrancas.
Unusually, roadside signage of the town indicates an estimated population of 369, far smaller than any town in Red County.
Fort Carson is the largest town in Bone County in San Andreas.
