The Mindoro Cut

THE MINDORO CUT

This cut, located at the highest
point on state highway 108
between Mindoro and West
Salem, is 74 feet deep and
25 feet wide. It was hand-hewn
out of hard rock in 1907-08. All
work was completed with only horse-
drawn equipment and hand tools.
As far as known it is the second
longest hand-hewn cut in the nation.
