Various images I've cobbled together containing historical images alongside with those I took at the approximate spot.

Wow! I love these! The historical images alone are great. The now versions are incredible. The last one looks like it took some work.
Let’s keep this idea going.
Unfortunately all I have at the moment are sensitive before & after shots I can’t share. Lol. I’ll start looking for new (old) shots to reproduce. I love the idea.

Nice work... still can't believe Greenwater was the site of so much speculation.

I appreciate you skill with these side by side images. The Skidoo Townsite one will come in handy during my next trip to DEVA where i hope to hike along the old pipeline that fed the stamp mill.

I have followed the pipeline north from Harrisburg a fair ways. There is no pipe - I know of a few sections but the are further south. You see a bunch of clamp / joint rusted hardware, and a few stone pilings to level the pipe over depressions, fairly easy walking in the stretch I followed. In the townsite, did the pipeline go all the way over to the stamp mill?

I believe so. I’d have to check my resources to confirm. It seems that the mill had been shut down due to the pipeline freezing in its initial winter of operation. I believe I’ve seen a historic photo of water spraying from the mill across the canyon that it sits in. The primary focus for the water was the mill, the town’s needs were secondary.
