They usually followed the 100 year ago rule. Some episodes are very clearly pre civil war and some of them are very clearly post. There are none that seem to actually take place during the war but it was Nevada after all so hard to tell.

There is an excellent post war episode with Dean Stockwell as a drunkard winner of the Congressional medal of honor. Good episode with a nice twist at the end.
