Originally named Boulder Dam, it was renamed Hoover Dam in 1946. The drawing (bottom of picture) by the Dept. of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation for the Boulder Canyon Dam shows the sectional elevation view of the dam including intake towers to the right of the dam which would be used to divert water to the turbines. Also included is a graph for elevation and discharge of water and part of the graph for storage of water.
