http://www.legendsofamerica.com/OR-Facts.html Whorehouse Meadows in Harney County was exactly that during the days of the Old West. Setting up facilities under a canvas tent in the secluded meadow about a mile east of Fish Lake they would then meet up with cattle and sheep herders. In the 1960's the Bureau of Land Management issued a recreation map renaming the meadow, ?Naughty Girl Meadows? But in 1971 the Oregon Geographic Names Board took strong objection to the change and brought their argument before federal arbiters. After ten years the old name was restored in 1981.

http://www.texasobserver.org/showArticle.asp?ArticleID=1946 the old stone building on Congress Avenue and a stone?s throw from Slaughter Lane has long been a refuge for outlaws and those who prefer life on the outskirts of polite society. A notorious whorehouse named Hattie?s was once located just down the road.

heheheheh- you posted one of my "most sought after sites" Whorehouse Meadows- I believe I'm gonna hit that one soon!
 

Tokens from such establishments are also interesting to find. I once found such a token near an old Methodist Campground. I haven't seen the token for a while---I guess I still have it somewhere. But I think it was for a place called "Grouch's" in New Orleans.
