A wooden flume running on a tall timber trestle through the forest stands out for its sheer scale: the long, elevated channel carried water or logs across ground that would otherwise have been hard to reach. Flumes like this were a common sight in the lumber and mining country of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when operators needed cheap ways to move cut timber or water over ravines and uneven terrain. The trestle's open framework of posts and bracing shows how much skilled carpentry went into holding such a structure above the trees. Pictures of these works often document the engineering as much as the industry they served.
