Additional Details:
Depicted is the gigantic Oroville Dam when completed in 1968. An overlook area six miles from Oroville gives exciting view of spectacular construction. Nine feet higher than Hoover Dam, it will be the highest of any dam in the United States, and highest and largest embankment dam in the world. The 490 million dollar project will be the key unit of California's 1.75 billion dollar statewide water plan.
