Description: "Birdseye View, Big Creek - San Joaquin River, Water Power Development of the Southern California Edison Co." Map/drawing shows the plans SCE had to expand the Big Creek project to 18 powerhouses, producing 1,460,000 kilowatts through 1943. The Depression, the construction of Hoover Dam, and World War II killed the ultimate completion of the planned expansion.
