Show Record from its source to its mouth. It contains substantially the same type of information that was included on Exhibit 505, showing irri-gated land proposed for irrigation, developed and undeveloped power sites and reservoir sites, prepared for publication by the Geological 4045 Survey. The maps are both dated 1929. The Geological Survey has been gathering the information shown on the maps for 20 year or more. 4046 Flaming Gorge is in the State of Utah. The map shows and undeveloped reservoir site and an undeveloped power site at that point, the back water of the reservoir extending practically up to the Town of Green River, Wyoming. The purpose of the Flaming Gorge Dam is primarily for power. It will completely regulate the Green River at that point. The figures 2 and 3, encircled indicate undeveloped power sites below Flaming Gorge. Power site marked 4 is in Colorado. Power site marked 5 is in Utah and is the split mountain site. I am not quite positive, but I am reasonably sure that all of the area shown in green is at present irrigated by diversions from Brush and Ashley Creeks, tributaries of the Colorado. Some of the yellow, which is proposed irrigation, would doubtless involve 4048 a little pumping from the river. There is a little proposed irrigation near Ouray. The circle with the figure 3 in it below Jack Canyon is another undeveloped power site where a dam of considerable height would be built, backing the water well up to the nest site above. No. 4 is another of the some type; likewise No. 1. Then in the vicinity 4049 of Greenriver, Utah, is the most promising possibility of irrigation in Utah from the Green, indicating a possible diversion from a dam of considerable height, and supplemented by pumping, to cover a considerable area there of a few thousand acres. Exhibit 507 summarizes the principal information as to irrigated and irrigable land, developed and undeveloped power sites, |
