Canal Project in Old Madison Twin Bridges
W H Godfrey of Sheridan surveys for a reservoir site near Twin Bridges to be built by a major land company on the Big Hole beach in Madison County. He envisions an irrigation canal from the Big Hole river crossing the divide north of McCartney Mountain to reclaim beach lands down to Whitehall. The land’s quality, proximity to phosphate beds, and level terrain favor a low-cost project, with government land still open but likely soon claimed by homesteaders at Twin Bridges.
