Pinto Creek
A vital factor for locating the iron works here was the water source. Pinto Creek provided the stream of water necessary to turn the waterwheel that pumped the bellows, which would heat the furnace to extreme temperatures required to produce iron. The creek also met the daily water needs of the people, their livestock, and their crops.
