《徐霞客游记·黔游日记六》
大致鼎站的山岭，到此处从中下降，又与西岭对峙成峡谷，有座土山在峡中突起并与它相连，土山南北都下坠到峡中，盘踞在中央宛如堤坝一样，它被称为黄土坝就是因为这个原因。
盖鼎站之岭，至此中降，又与西岭对峙成峡，有土山中突而连属之，其南北皆坠峡下，中踞若坝然，其云黄土坝者以此。
The mountain range of roughly Dingzhan Station descends here, and it confronts Xiling to form a canyon, there is an earthen hill that suddenly rises in the canyon and is connected to it, the earthen hill falls into the canyon both north and south, and curls up in the middle like a dike, it is called the Yellow Earth Dike precisely for this reason.
