English: Text appended to image: Sheep Bridge on the Deadwood River The width of the base is two hundred and forty feet and that of the top sixteen feet. More than one millions tons of material went into the dam. A lake has been formed back of the dam eighteen miles long, and containing water enough to irrigate two hundred and twenty thousand acres. One of Idaho's early settlements is Soda Springs, founded by Brigham Young soon after 1870. It has an ideal climate, and is charmingly situated in a valley surrounded on all sides by rugged peaks in the mountainous southeastern corner of the state. The numerous springs are highly recommended for their medicinal properties, and there are splendid hunting and fishing in the vicinity. One of the thriving towns on the banks of the Snake River, well up toward that river's headwaters, is St. Anthony. Its location was determined by the fact that the river has here cut deep in the basalt that underlies the soil of the valley. Image from page 382 of "What to see in America" (1919) by Clifton Johnson.
