Description
This Pelton water wheel is a remnant left by the Treadwell Mining Complex. The Treadwell Mine operated in Douglas, Alaska, in the early 20th Century. It shut down following a fire and cave-in. During its heyday, many thousands of miners and their families lived in Douglas, across Gastineau Channel from Juneau and the Alaska-Juneau Mine. The forest is slowly swallowing the bits and pieces left by the mine.
