USGS staff boating on the Columbia River
Two USGS staff boat during field work on the Columbia River near The Dalles Dam.
A truly epic cableway
Built-in 1937 with funds from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the 100 feet tall steel tower had a main cable that stretched 1,727 feet across the Columbia. Streamflow measurements started as soon as it was daylight to avoid the highest winds.
