Description
This is my favorite old Aermotor wind pump in Lassen County, California, USA. It is in a field just a few miles south of the community of Madeline. It stands there proudly doing its job to keep the cattle watered day in and day out.
Madeline is an unincorporated community in Lassen County, California, USA, approximately 45 miles north of Susanville on US-395. This is a very remote and rural part of northern California. The predominate industries here are cattle ranching and hay farming but there has been some mining, including gold mining in the region over the years.
The Aermotor Windmill Company has been a strong competitor in the wind driven pump industry since the late 19th century. During World War II the company played a role in the manufacture of the then top secret Norden Bombsight which helped the allies win the war. Today the company is the premier manufacturer of wind driven pumps in America with approximately an 80% market share.
I captured this image just as an October sun was sinking below the ridgeline and casting it’s last golden light on the scene.
