Inscription.

This steel causeway follows two pipelines which supplied water and water power to the old town of Graham where gold and silver ores were milled from nearby mines in the 1890's. The causeway clings to the sides of a sheer box canyon in Saltwater Creek and is accessible by a foot trail from the Whitewater picnic ground.
