others of this size and scope are known in the
US Southwest.

Some obvious 14th century historic examples
can be found in the Levadas of Maderia in the Canary Islands. BTW, the Canary Islands were named after a large dog.

One of the very few local historic canals that
may or may not have been modified from a prehistoric original. Seven mile long entry
featured a long and tall corrugated tin and
tar flume, a siphon, a small tunnel, wooden
braces, and a mysterious "inverted" silo.

Only lasted three years in the 1920's. But
never had fully legal contracted water.

There are many cultural resources in the

are now known to nearly completely
surround Mt. Graham.

One  reasonable question to ask might be
if there were  prehistoric  canal resources
in the Aravaiipa area. The above resource
seems to be a historic riverine style canal
that remains unverified and unchecked.
Prehistoric origins remain unclear.

There are tantalizing hints of an extension
to the Smith Canal going all the way to the

of the route remains dubious and still lacks
proof. Only the start of the extension route
is shown above. Routing seems favorable
