Description	CONTENT: This series contains 45 images of possible dam sites on the Colorado River. Many locations are named, and often there is geological information included as well. Some of the sites mentioned are Cataract Canyon, Dark Canyon, Mille Crag Bend, Glen Canyon, Pipe Creek, Hakatai, Vasey's Paradise in Marble Gorge, Mineral Canyon, Ruby Canyon, Specter Chasm, Havasu, Big Bend, Devils Slide, Flour Sack Rapids, Pearce Ferry, Eagle Rock, Bulls Head, and Redwall. BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY: The United States Geological Survey was interested in the potential control of the Colorado River for many years, both for harnessing its power and for alleviating flood damage. Surveys and assessments for possible dams along the river were made by E.C. La Rue over numerous trips on the Colorado between 1914 and 1924, during which he took thousands of photographs.
