The view from the top of Fortification Hill overlooking Lake Mead. Created in the late 1930s when Hoover Dam was built atop of the Colorado River, Lake Mead is one of the largest man-made reservoirs in the United States at 112 miles long and 500 feet deep.
From the Nye County, Nevada Photograph Collection (PH-00221) -- Series VI. Tonopah, Nevada -- Subseries VI.D. Terrell Family. High-grade gold ore was found just below the top of the hill and a shaft was sunk. Note the windlass hoist, cranked by hand, and the pipe going down to the shaft to draw air into the hole for ventilation.
