Description
With A Mighty Roar . . . the impounded Missouri River water surges through 22-foot concrete-lined tunnels under the Fort Randall Dam, courses over the weir into a stilling basin, and then flows down toward Council Bluffs. Fort Randall now has a 50-foot wall of water behind its dam, and a year from now will have boosted it to 100 feet. Maintenance shops and other temporary buildings needed in connection with building this "main-stem" river control and power plant are shown on the far bank.
