PREGLACIAL MOINGONA RIVER 



559 



This is the source of one of the finest, largest and purest water- 

 supplies for municipal purposes in the entire country. Water 

 works located north of Highland Park and immediately beyond 

 the city limits are competent to furnish water in abundance for 

 a city of 1,000,000 inhabitants.

An item of military import is the location of the great canton- 

 ment of Camp Dodge in the broad Beaver valley 11 miles north- 

 west of the Capital City. Beaver Creek flows its entire length 

 along the axis of the drift-filled gorge of the old Moingona river. 

 For the special purposes for which this cantonment was estab- 

 lished no more ideal loeation in all the world could be selected.
