Hoover Dam and Lake Mead as seen from the high
cliffs on the Nevada side of Black Canyon. In the
immediate foreground is the Nevada Observation
Point from which thousands of visitors, each year,
view this giant Bureau of Reclamation structure. In
this photo the 150-ton cableway is shown in opera-
tion. By means of the cableway loaded freight cars
are lowered from the canyon wall to the level of the
power plant 600 feet below.
