Description

An image of the inscribed flagpole base located between the Winged Figures of the Republic sculptures at Boulder Dam. The base is engraved with a memorial inscription regarding the construction of the dam: "It is fitting that the flag of our country should fly here in honor of those men who, inspired by a vision of lonely lands made fruitful, conceived this great work and those others whose genius and labor made that vision a reality." Note: Boulder Dam was officially renamed Hoover Dam in 1947.
