It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.[1] It was deemed significant for association with irrigation and agriculture in the state and "as an excellent example of a structure designed to overcome a topographical obstruction", namely a draw of Lodgepole Creek. In 1994, it was "the best preserved and most visible" of several surviving aqueduct sections in the area.[2]
