In 1920, 40 families were brought from New York by the Midland Railroad Company to operate coal mines in the Silt area. When the railroad failed a short time later, the families remained in the vicinity and began farming. A series of irrigation ditches were set up and the Cactus Valley Ditch  ran right through what is now the town of Silt. The town has put in several walking bridges to cross the Ditch in various places. This one is the newest addition. If you are interested in learning more about the original families you can take a short drive/walk to the Silt Historical Park at 707 Orchard, open May 1-Oct 31 12-5, Tuesday through Saturday.

Coordinates seemed pretty far off. Stick to the west and look high and low. That is the “key”
