This view shows an artist's sketch of the Tennessee
o Valley Authority's Hiwassee Dam, now under con-
struction on the Hiwassee River in the mountains of
ż southwestern North Carolina. The project, when com-
pleted, will tower 307 feet above the bed of the stream
and will back water 22 miles up the river to the town
of Murphy, N. C. It will help control seasonal floods,
will aid navigation on the Tennessee River in months
of low flow and will provide for the incidental pro-
duction of electric power.
