Always fun to have some humans for scale. The North Fork Dam is a 155-foot tall constant angle arch dam built by the United States Army Corps of Engineers in 1939 for the purpose of retaining gold mining debris washing downriver.

> Great work of non-fiction! We'd all be better served by reading some more 9th grader essays. Love the story. The best part was that I enjoyed it while skimming. Totally scannable for a massive research project. More PhD's should publish pieces like this!
