Dams

Harry S. Truman and others on bridge during his visit to the Grand Coulee Dam.

The upriver side of Grand Coulee Dam, looking north. The thin straight line to the right of center is the top of the dam. A little bit of the town of Grand Coulee, Washington can be seen above the dam. This was probably taken during President Truman's western trip.

The switchyard of the Tennessee Valley Authority's Chickamauga Dam, located near Chattanooga, Tennessee, 471 miles above the mouth of the Tennessee River.

Norris Dam, the Tennessee Valley Authority's water control project on the Clinch River in northeast Tennessee. It was completed in 1936 and is 265 feet high and 1,860 feet long. It helps control seasonal floods, aids navigation on the Tennessee and lower Mississippi Rivers in months of low flow and provides for the incidental production of electric power.
