July 4 1959, Date created
B/w glossy photograph documenting the Tuttle Creek Dam Closure Ceremony, July 4, 1959. Closer view of the dissipating mock atomic bomb explosion that was set off simultaneously as the explosion to blow the "plug" in the diversion channel that allows water to flow to the control/intake tower tubes. Stamped "Ellenbecker" on the back. 5" x 7". Good condition; curling at short edges.
