Okay Candace and Sparky, this now becomes another fun mystery to solve inside DEVA.
Candace, I expanded your 2013 TOPO to include some proposed (my guesswork) locations of the springs and the old road. I've actually rented a Farabee Jeep and driven the old road from Darwin Falls parking, south and up that steep hill and into Darwin Canyon, stopping at China Garden and the old well house before driving almost due East to Darwin. This route is what I'm guessing was the old toll road?
The one spring located in the PSR overlay image is a question and I'm wondering if this might be the "PSR ghost spring" that alludes me? Footnote links that I researched are below as well. (Sorry, but the "add image" function for this forum fails to load my image from the url I paste into the box)
