TVA: Wheeler Dam

Built as a result of FDR's "New Deal" package during the Great Depression. This dam is one in a series of dams. It is located on the Tennessee River in North Alabama. The road that crosses the dam is HWY 101 and the county on the north side of the river is Lauderdale and the south side is Lawrence.

Top of the picture is the North end.



This end is for the production of "Hydro-electricity" and the other is a lock-system.
