Hoover Dam & Lake Mead
Nevada

A major undertaking during the depression. The Hoover dam and the resulting lake have survived decades, and have supplied power & water for many during the years.

Quite the structure. The pictures do not really do it justice as it is the size of the structure that is most impressive. One is able to take an elevator down to the bottom of the dam and view the massive turbine engines. It is quite the sight to look upwards towards the top of the dam.
Pay attention to the drop in the lake level, from our earlier pictures to those taken later. Here it shows how much the water has dropped in a period of 13 years.
