Notes
  • Significance: One of the first tasks that the early homesteaders of the Tabiona Valley needed to accomplish in order to survive was the construction of irrigation canals. The structures found on the Jepp Thomas Canal are representative of pioneer construction techniques and design. The headworks are especially noteworthy. The headgate is made entirely out of wood (rough hewn planks) and 2x4s as is the adjacent chute and drop. The headgate aperture is determined by inserting a wooden dowel or a stout stick into a hole that is one of a series drilled into the 2x4 headgate stem.
