TVA's FONTANA DAM, Architect's sketch showing
how Fontana Dam will look when it is completed early
in 1944. The dam is being speeded to completion under
emergency schedules so that additional power may be
available for war industries. Fontana will be the highest
concrete dam east of the Rocky Mountains....towering
460 feet above bedrock. It will be 2,330 feet long and
will create a lake 29 miles long. The lake will have
1,160,000 acre-feet of useful flood control storage space.
Surface area of the lake will be more than 10,000 acres.
