COUGAR PARK, HELL CANYON BRANCHLINE; BARNEY FLATS
COUGAR PARK, HELL CANYON BRANCH LINE COPYRIGHT; ALL RIGHTS RESERVED (5/10/22) Cougar Park The spur starts at the intersection of FR3110 and Highway 73 (Perkinsville Road.) Satellite imaging shows the grade crossing Cougar Park, then entering Hell Canyon. This entire region is rugged, steep and challenging to traverse. Evidence indicates, from the numerous stump fields, that a centrally located spur existed in the Canyon. The Canyon serves as the main south side drainage of Bill Williams Mountain. As such, the canyon can fill with several feet of rushing water at the slightest downfall of rain within the watershed area. It is best to use extreme caution, and don't enter it if there is the slightest hint of rain. Little archaeological evidence remains due to 100 years of erosion, however, higher up the slopes and on the floodplain, stumps show that rails once traversed the area. Slowly, ever so stubbornly, the once busy rail line is revealing it's secrets. Looking West. L
