Some one wanted to know if the former town of Amedee was part of the Sierra Army Depot. The confusion may stem as the Depot has an air strip known as Amedee. However, the Depot’s properties are  south of the Amedee townsite.

On February 24, 2014, the Humphrey family that owned Amedee Hot Springs, the abandoned townsite and surrounding ranching property for nearly a century sold it to Hays Ranches for $450,000. It should be noted, that the Humphreys were involved in the McKissick Cattle Company that purchased the Amedee holdings in 1915. By the late, 1920s the town had been abandoned, save for a caretaker. However, visitors would stop by to take advantage of the old bathhouse for a soak from the hot springs.
