Notes
  • Significance: The Broughton flume was one of the last working cant flumes in the United States. Spanning nine miles from Willard to Hood, Washington, it operated from 1923-1986. / The Broughton Flume was built between 1921 and 1923 by the Drano Flume and Lumber Co. to transport cants (rough sawn logs) from the Little Salmon River nine miles to Hood, Washington and the Columbia River. Leased on completion by Broughton Lumber, the company assumed ownership in 1927 and continued to transport cants over the flume until both the company and the flume closed in 1986.
