Description
Water Coursing Down the Fort Peck Spillway . . . attains a speed of about 60 miles an hour in the mile long concrete channel as it falls 214 feet to the stilling basin. Part of the 180 mile long reservoir is shown at the upper right. By closing these spillway gates in the spring of 1952, two feet of water was taken off the top of the April Missouri River flood crest. - Corps of Engineers photo
