Notes
  • Significance: The ditch was used to supply water to the Oro Grande Placer Mining Company's large placer gold mining operation on the Blue River near Dillion from 1889-1904. The company used a hydraulic elevator system for mining the placer deposits. From 1909-1927 the ditch supplied water to a hydroelectric power plant operated by the Summit County Power Company, which supplied electricity to the towns of Dillion and Breckenridge and the surrounding mining area.
