Redridge Dam |
Industries, Water, Engineering |
This photo of the redridge dam spillway at Redridge, Michigan shows the construction after total shutoff of water in the year 1908. It was built in 190 - 1902 and handled water from the steel dam that spilled over into the original river channel. Fish used this spillway as a ladder to return to the dam and river for spawning but in 1960 when the highway department cut off the spillway from overflow, the spawning fish were unable to return to the dam or river and hance the dam became bare of any trout. The Department of Natural Resources now occassionally plant fish in the dam but for some ten years no plantings were made and fishing was nil. The young lady in the picture is not identified but is thought to have been Charles Saltzers girl friend who accompanied him as he took this picture. The photo was copied by William H. Brikman, Charles Saltzers protoge and student. Scanned: September 11, 2013 |

The Stanton's Summer Camp on a bluff overlooking the Redridge Dam and Salom Trout River. This building was the summer home of the John Stanton family while nearby was the home of Dr. Moore who married Stanton's sister. The two-story Moore cottage burned down in a fire one night in 19, 30 or 31. For many years thereafter the property was neglected, but later sold to a Cole of Ohio. Later it was again sold to Bill Pakkala and lately to a Christoferson of Lake Linden. This cottage and Moore's cottage was reached by the Atlantic Railroad that sported a special coach for the elite family of notables of the company. It was built by Gotleib Schneider, John Drexler, Godfrey Kenel and Fred Mehring (all of German descent). The lad in the corner with his gun and dog is Frank Morin with his dog Don.
