Label on image: COLUMBIA RIVER BASIN CLEARING PROJECT: Camp Kettle, near Kettle Falls, where 525 of the 2,200 WPA workers on the Coulee reservoir clearing project are now quartered. It is the largest of six camps housing the crews operating on the upper Columbia and tributaries including the Spokane River. When the project is completed next summer, the camp must be removed as the rising lake will entirely cover this region. US WPA 487 [Grand Coulee Dam 217] |
