Oahe Dam Power Plant
Artist's rendering of the hydroelectric power plant for the Oahe Dam, authorized by the Flood Control Act of 1944 for the Missouri River Basin, 1940s. When the dam began to generate power in 1962, it was the largest rolled-earth dam in the world. The dam impounds the Missouri River near Pierre, South Dakota, and provides electrical energy to Nebraska, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota. The reservoir formed by the dam, Lake Oahe, stretches 231 miles north along the Missouri. Sketch shows the plant's 14 surge tanks, each 145 feet high and 70 feet in diameter.
