Geocache Description:


With the coming of the railroads in the late 1800s, the importance of the river changed from commercial to becoming a much-needed water supply to help irrigate fields and supply drinking water.  But the water levels of the Colorado River could slow to a trickle during the hot summer months and be a raging river if there was a rainy season.  In the early 1900's,a massive system of dams and canals were constructed to control the flow of the river. Many lakes were formed at this time.

A) Laguna Dam, 1905      N 32° 57.911′ W 114° 27.195′
