I don't know that it was.  The previous owner (whose had the land in his family for 80 years) said he doesn't know of it ever running.  

I am in the process of purchasing land for a homestead that has a dry stream bed on it.  I attached a picture from the topo map for reference.  The pond at the top is not on the property.  IS there anyway to make this stream flow?  Also, not sure how this affects it, but a local told me the water table is at 17 feet.  Thanks for the help!
