Transcribed Notes: Transcribed from handwritten text on pg. 3: "West of the Flood Channel and on west side of Highway except for a few acres west of Highway and East of Channel in Logandale above point where Highway bridge crosses Channel. # 10 acres early vegetables were silted over lightly making them unfit for shipment.
