Early map of the mill race. Notice semicircular channel north of Coldwater Rd. Neither of these exists today.Another early map showing the rail line to the south east and the millrace with a second small pond just east of South Broadway Street. While the mill race was filled in in the early 2000’s as of 2016 it still showed up on Google Maps.
Randall dam on the Coldwater River. It was removed in 2002.
