I, spine label on vol. II perished at head of spine(some chipping & creasing to spines, some lifting), still a VG set.

Employing over 600 engineers, surveyors, and laborers, The Keechelus Dam was completed from 1913-1917 at the head of the Yakima River, and provided about 15 percent of the water stored for the Yakima Irrigation District. By the end of the 1990s, it was determined that the dam was facing potential failure from piping and erosion, so an elevation of 2510 feet was imposed, and modifications and reconstruction were undertaken to control seepage and reduce erosion. The maps included in these volumes encompass the size of the Lake Dam, the Spillway, elevations of the Spillway, Plan and Profile of the original dam under construction, detailed record map of test pits, as well as relocation of State Roads. Swigart (1864-1928), was an Ohio-born civil engineer who had been located in Everett, WA at the time the project was first proposed, and by 1903 was located in Yakima, WA overseeing and directing the variety of reservoir projects, as well as the reports on stream-flow records previously under the direction of the Geological Survey. Many of these maps show progress reports in hand-colouring indicating areas finished, or under construction. No copies located in Worldcat.…
