| Description | View looking downstream over the reservoir area from WPA Camp Gifford, taken from a point at elevation 1290, the ultimate high-water line of the reservoir. Burning of the debris piles in the foreground will complete all clearing seen in this view. The clearing of the Columbia River Reservoir was one of the largest projects undertaken by the WPA. Completed in December 1941, the project took three years total to finish. |
