It is located near Townsend, Montana. It was built between 1866 and c.1875 originally to support gold mining, which required water,[2] then later was used for farm and ranch irrigation. Over its {{convert|11|mi|km}} length it dropped from {{convert|6,300|ft|m}} to {{convert|4,000|ft|m}} elevation. Along most of its length, in two sections, it was a hand-dug ditch about {{convert|3|ft|m}} wide and {{convert|1|ft|m}} deep that was dug using shovels, picks and axes. One section was a "spectacular" {{convert|1,578|ft|m}} wooden flume which brought it along walls of Hassel Canyon. It also included a {{convert|3|mi|km}} section where it ran down natural gullies where no digging was needed.[2] An approximately {{convert|8|mi|km}} portion of it--the two hand-dug sections--was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. The listed area also includes remnants of a wooden flume, and a rubble stone dam.[1][2] In 1918 the Crow Creek Irrigation District was formed by farmers and ranchers for irrigation.[3] With the creation of Canyon Ferry Lake the need for the canals decreased.[3] References1. ^1 {{NRISref|2010a}} {{National Register of Historic Places}}2. ^1 2 {{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=01000323}}|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Crow Creek Water Ditch / Crow Creek Ditch, Kelly and Brothers Ditch, Kelly and Ford Ditch, Kelly Flume Ditch / 24BW735 |publisher=National Park Service|author=: Sara Scott and John Stoner |date=May 2000 |accessdate=July 29, 2017}} With {{NRHP url|id=01000323|photos=y|title=16 photos, including historic ones}}. 3. ^1 {{cite web|title=Montana Place Names Companion|url=http://mtplacenames.org/|publisher=Montana Historical Society|accessdate=29 July 2017}} 5 : Industrial buildings and structures on the National Register of Historic Places in Montana|Buildings and structures in Broadwater County, Montana|National Register of Historic Places in Broadwater County, Montana|Irrigation in the United States|Water supply infrastructure on the National Register of Historic Places |
