Photograph of the confluence of 2 branches of Cloud Creek. Channel is now eliminated and lower portion seeded to alfalfa.

Photograph of the high water mark and bank scouring shown after 2 to 4 inches of rains on watershed of North Cavalry. This is a 25 year old man-made channel designed to prevent flooding and ponding on bottom land. Nearby farmers say that this channel seldom overflows, but that it has lowered the water table in the soil enough to lower crop yields. The channel is approximately 20 feet deep at this point.

Photograph of overflow from Elk Creek and runoff from surrounding areas inundating good farm land 1 mile from creek. Looking south along highway after 4" rain.

Photograph of permant pool 23 acres surface area taking 1. 6 inches of runoff. Flood pool 77 acres surface area taking 5. 7 inches runoff. Discharge 10 cubic fee per second per square mile of drainage area. Reservoir is shown here nearing completion. This is a view of the downstream face of the dam. Discharge pipe is being laid at right, below the dam.

Photograph of waste land that has been transformed to a newly prepared field. Some of the brush removed from newly prepared field on left. Gully 4' to 6' deep has been filled. The field will be seeded to oats in spring of 1950 and alfalfa in the fall. This was formerly waste land due to overflow.

Photograph of an alfalfa field developed in the flood plain of Cloud Creek below detention reservoirs No. 1 and No. 2. This bottom land was formerly cut in two by a gully 4' to 6' deep. This ditch has been plowed in. The bottom formerly overflowed once or twice most years causing excessive crop losses and preventing the establishment of a stand of alfalfa. Wheat made 35 bu. per acre in 1949. A rain occurring in May 1949 would have destroyed the crop on 30 acres had it not been for the Cloud Creek flood control construction. Alfalfa was seeded in Sept. A heavy rain falling in Nov. did not damage the stand of alfalfa.

Photograph of a brush choked channel of branch below detention reservoir No. 2. To be cleared later and established to alfalfa.

Fish were delivered by Buster Cotheran, State Fish and Game Commission. The lake will cover approximately 30 surface acres when full.
