SALT LAKE CITY Brian Tonetti was working on an assignment about creeks with some of his University of Utah classmates seven years ago when they stumbled upon something rather fascinating about three of the creeks in Salt Lake County.
The Emigration, Parley s and Red Butte creeks merged together as one as they flowed into the Jordan River. When they visited the site, they found that the unique geographic feature was covered by a parking lot sandwiched between an auto shop and a partially burnt home. It had been removed from the public eye for at least a century. The area had been paved over with a dead-end segment of 1300 South trash, weeds and encroachments abound, he said, reflecting on that initial visit.
