Extent
1 item : This place is called Boom Rock or better known as Little Canyon - on N. Fk. of Clearwater River. This will be location of Dent bridge. Note on back: " Upstream from the dam we planned a bridge crossing of the pool and later you will see this bridge. Here the men are testing the bedrock and support to see if it is good enough to hand a high bridge to. The bridge will be 610 ft. above the river bottom. From this you will be able to see what the country looked like before the lake. Of course, this will never be seen in our lifetime unless somebody blasts the dam out! This place is called Boom Rock or better known as Little Canyon on the North Fork of Clearwater River. Location of Dent Bridge. (A.B. Curtis)"
