This image is taken from the middle of Cahoon Creek looking to the west bank (behind the house). It shows the outline of the mill pond that once was here. Looking at the small hill marked "A," the viewer can imagine a mill, either lumber or grist, located there. The creek would have been dammed causing a flooding of the area marked "B." Water was then diverted to the west side of the mill back to the creek. The gravitational flow allowed for the water power needed to operate the mill. Behind the small hill ("A") is another mound that was for the second mill the Cahoons operated.Download Original File
