Feature Type: Valley

 

Origin of Name:

The name of this region comes from a beautiful canyon through which winds a stream breaking through a wall of red earth near the border of Natrona and Johnson county. Who first named the site is not known; probably the name was given by a group of Englishmen headed by the Frevens who located on the Powder River in 1878. Since there is a spot in London known as "The Hole in the Wall", it is reasonable to suppose that these men named it for that location.
