Water Diversion Construction at Thistle on August 10, 1983
US 89 (Utah County)--Photographs
Disasters--Utah-Spanish Fork Canyon
This image documents the Thistle Flood that began in April 1983 with a massive mud slide that created an earthen dam, blocking the flow of the Spanish Fork River. In addition to severing Highway 89 as a transportation route, the dam destroyed the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad tracks, cutting off the railroad link between Salt Lake and Denver. As flood waters rose, the town of Thistle (located on Highway 89) was inundated with the water that would form Thistle Lake. Massive construction efforts were made between 1983 and 1984 to reconstruct rail and road lines, as well as divert and drain water from Thistle Lake into the nearby Spanish Fork River.

Mr. Peterson talks about growing up in Hyrum, Utah, his father's ranching and farming operations, working with his families’ sheep ranching operation in Cache National Forest and in Box Elder County. He talks about getting out of the sheep business due to a mysterious event that killed over 300 sheep in the mid 1950s that also caused many of the sheep to become sterile. After this, the family got out of the sheep ranching business. Additionally, Peterson talks about his education at Utah State University and University of Utah and going into the real estate business in Bear Lake Valley, as well as, local land conservation issues.
