| Comment |
"This station in Dixie Hollow was also commonly known as Dixie Creek and East Canyon. The name listed in the contract was Wheaton Springs. The exact location has been a matter of considerable debate. Joe Nardone agrees with Mormon Trail authority Lamar Barrett that the station sat directly in the mouth of the draw, at a site marked by a pile of rocks. David and Susan Jabusch found no artifacts of any type during their initial and thorough survey. According to members of the Bertagnole family, who have been on the land for generations, the right location is a short distance to the south where a catch basin for watering livestock and a small grove of trees are found today. Construction of the small reservoir obliterated any evidence of a station at that spot. The U.S. Geological Survey, after consultation with prominent Utah historians, placed Dixie Station at the Bertagnole site." --Information provided by Patrick Hearty, NPEA Utah, 2005 (http://www.xphomestation.com/utsta.html#EAST%20CANYON ) |
