Additional Photos Of The Former Turner Ranch Location
(July 2006 Photos by the author.)

Looking northeast in the direction of Grace from the home site.	The tiny old barn likely built by Edward J. Turner around 1877.
The roof of the old barn may have been upgraded over the years.  The other abandoned out-buildings at the site were not of log construction and thus built more recently.	Inside the 3 stall barn.  While it was abandoned when I visited, it appeared that it could have been used in the last 10 or 15 years.
Other abandoned buildings at the old home site.
Books make reference to the fact that the Turners build their home at the site of several good springs.  Here one still flows at the abandoned home site as it irrigates a field for the cattle that still graze the area.	Today there is public access to the Bear River and Black Canyon a few hundred yards down river from the old Turner home site.  It includes a small parking lot and a foot bridge across the river.
Looking north up river from the footbridge.  The home site is just out of the picture on the right. The river today has a significantly lower flow than it would have when the Turners lived here as most of the water is now diverted upstream near Grace into a pipe and put back into the river a half mile downstream at the Grace Power Plant (hydroelectric).	Looking across the Bear River from the west side at the old log barn.   The Turners likely chose their home site high on the river bank to avoid flooding during the spring and early summer run-off.
Cattle grazing in a field a quarter mile south of the home site as they likely did starting in 1877 when the Turner family occupied the land. The home site is located in the trees just above and a little to the right of my car.	River bottom land once part of the Turner Ranch from a point about a mile south of the Grace Power Plant.  I suspect that the old flume in the foreground was built in post-Turner days but I don't know this for sure.  It may have carried water to these fields or to the Cove Power Plant.
More former Turner Ranch land from maybe 1-1/2 miles south of the power plant looking south.	From across the river (the west side) looking northeast at the Grace Power Plant and it's water tower on the left.  The Turner home site is in the middle of the picture at the base of the hill.
