Upon graduation he joined his uncle west on the US Geological Survey through New Mexico, Arizona, and California.

In 1888 he co-founded the National Geographic Society, and in 1907 he was elected president of the Washington Society of Engineers. He served as the Director of the Reclamation Service (now the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation) from 1914 to 1923.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.usbr.gov/history/CommissBios/davis.html )〕 Boulder Dam (later called Hoover Dam) was fundamentally the conception of Arthur Powell Davis.
