Description: Shown in circa 1964 is the Folsom Dam. The 340-foot high, 1,400-foot wide structure was built between 1948 and 1956, making it a vital linchpin in one of the nation's largest water conveyance systems, the Central Valley Project. Its value has rested in its ability to provide water for valley agriculture, power for its residents and protection from flooding.
