Little Good Water
Long before our mothers ever thought of you and me, and long before the railroads came up through the valleys, a little group of riders of the range land came upon a little spring. They were tired and thirsty from many long hours in the saddle under the hot summer sun when they found the little spring. They dismounted and pawed out a little hole in the spring, and soon they all had a drink. There was not much water in the spring, but it was good, or at least they thought it was, and the name of the spring became Little Good Water.
The name, Little Good Water, has stood all down through the years, despite the fact that many people have lived on the ranch that was developed at the spring.
It was alll open range when the dusty and thirsty riders found the spring, and the ranch there was known for many years as the Wadsworth Place, but the spring's name still stands as Little Good Water.
