Additional Description: Ever since the earth was formed its face has been constantly changing. Volcanoes have erupted, mountains have been uplifted and worn down by erosion, glaciers have advanced and retreated, continents have been shaped and reshaped by the rise and fall of the oceans, and each rain etches and carves the land surface as well as the bedrock into which it seeps. The story of Devil's Millhopper is one act in nature's continuing drama called “change.”

During the last century, the grist mill was a familiar place to most rural families. Grain was fed into the mill from a funnel-shaped container called a “hopper.” The early homesteaders of this region found this sink to resemble a large millhopper which could feed grain into the Devil's Mill at the center of the earth. Thus the name — “Devil's Millhopper.”
