Notes
  • Significance: The Deep Creek Canal is the fourth largest of all project canals in terms of acres irrigated. Due to this fact, as well as the presence of fertile soils south of Tridell and west of LaPoint, it is also one of the leading three in terms of crop and livestock production. The Deep Creek Canal has aesthetic as well as utilitarian attributes. Laterals draw water off to the south of Tridell to irrigate lush alfalfa fields. To the north, laterals irrigate scraggly pasture land where cattle graze on wild grass. Buffalo berry bushes, sagebrush, wild iris and thistle grow on the banks of the canal, giving them a park-like appearance.
  • Survey number: HAER UT-30-C
  • Building/structure dates: ca. 1905 Initial Construction
