'South of the Industrial School at Salem and for a mile to the west is a case of "piracy".  The ravines formerly drained toward the east with outlets about thirty feet above their present outlets.  Later a stream flowing west with steeper gradient trenched the old coll for a mile, capturing the water from these ravines turning it westward and shifting the divide from its former position a mile west to the location that it now has.  This shows nicely on a topographic map of the region.  The view is from the west toward the east, into the coll where the drainage has been reversed.'
