Descriptions are based on retroactive descriptions typed by Curtis and inlcuded at the time of the donation of images. In some cases, personal thoughts or more back stories provided by Curtis are listed that weren't included or were condensed down to make our inventory.

About 200 images from this collection and about 300 items from the related Albert Bruce Curtis papers MG 147, and other collections, were digitized to create the Dworshak Dam Collection.

Extent

1 item : Land clearing operations in the Elk Creek area about 15 miles upstream. Note on back: "The contractor here had to clean up everything and the work was hard to get to, isolated in some places.
