ENGLISH 102 Final Paper.

The Salt River is a beautiful stream found in the United States at the heart of the state of Arizona in the White Mountains. It was found by Jack Swilling in 1870s. Jack Swilling was sent from the United States military to keep the hostile Indians away, since some of the miners discovered bodies of ore along the Hassayampa River. Gila River owes a lot to the Salt River since it is its biggest tributary. 200 miles is the approximate length of the Salt River not forgetting the drainage basin that is 13,700 square miles large. It provides a source of irrigation for the people that live in the surrounding communities. Its main source is the White River and the Black River.
