Irrigation Reservoirs on the National Forests 



Top. — Lake Keechelus on the Wenatchee National Forest, 

 Wash., used as one of the storage reservoirs for the 

 Yakima Reclamation Project. When completed, this 

 project will include more than 146,000 acres of irrigated 

 land. The crop production in 1915, on about two- 

 thirds of the area ultimately irrigable, was valued at 

 $2,400,000. 



Middle. — Granby Lakes on the Battlement National Forest, 

 Colo. This Forest was created in 1892 at the request 

 of local residents to protect their supply of water for 

 irrigation and domestic use. Within its boundaries are 

 now some 400 reservoirs supplying about 140,000 acres 

 of irrigated land valued at more than $2,500,000. 



Bottom. — Jackson Lake on the Teton National Forest, 

 Wyo., with the Teton Mountains in the background. 

 This forms one of the main storage reservoirs for the Mini- 

 doka Reclamation Project.
