Hoover Dam (completed 1936) was a New Deal-era engineering project that controlled the Colorado River, created Lake Mead and catalyzed modern growth in Las Vegas and the Southwest.
Conservation
Lake Mead levels and regional water management influence access to viewpoints and river ecosystems—limit waste, stay on designated paths, and respect signage to protect fragile desert habitats.
