This single-circuit transmission tower stands on a hillside overlooking Dam #7 and Redinger Lake in the background. Towers of this design were pioneered in 1913 for the original Big Creek development. Today, 220kV transmission lines on several different rights-of-way feed Big Creek power into the Edison system.
