An artist’s rendering of Lake Mead, full

Posted by jfleck on 18 October 2015, 7:48 pm

A great find for Bill Hasencamp’s collection of pictures of Lake Mead full:

"Hoover Dam as it will appear on completion" From the 1933 "Hoover Dam Power and Water Contracts and Related Data," U.S. Deparment of the Interior

“Hoover Dam as it will appear on completion” From the 1933
“Hoover Dam Power and Water Contracts and Related Data,” U.S. Deparment of the Interior

Optimistically, presumed to be full.
