Explore a historic irrigation plan with real financial numbers and engineering detail. This nonfiction edition examines the Columbia Southern Irrigation Project in Crook County, dating from the early 1900s. It gives a clear view of the ideas, costs, and practical steps that were considered to bring water and land under cultivation.

The material presents how engineers evaluated land value, water rights, construction needs, and maintenance. It also shows how projected returns from land sales and water rights could support the project’s financing and long-term operation. Readers get a snapshot of the era’s approach to large-scale public works and land reclamation.

Plain language explanations of project economics, including cost totals and potential profits.

Details on water supply, reservoirs, canals, and the role of drainage in planning.

Descriptions of land-class categories, liens, and how sales might fund the project.

Notes on construction methods, maintenance planning, and governance considerations.

Ideal for readers interested in historical engineering reports, early 20th‑century irrigation, and the practical economics behind large public works.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the history of the ambitious Columbia Southern Irrigation Project in Oregon. The project aimed to reclaim desert land for agriculture using water from Tumalo Creek. The author, with meticulous research, details the complex story of the project from its inception in 1902 to its eventual abandonment. The book examines the challenges and obstacles faced by the project, including inadequate water supply, financial difficulties, and technical complexities. The author also analyzes the project's impact on the local community and the broader context of the Carey Act, which encouraged private development of irrigation projects on public lands. The book provides valuable insights into the complexities of water management, land reclamation, and the interplay between government and private interests in shaping the American West. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
