Canyon Ferry Dam is a concrete gravity dam in a narrow valley of the Missouri River, USA, where the Big Belt Mountains and the Spokane Hills merge, approximately downstream from the confluence of the Gallatin, Madison, and Jefferson Rivers, and about east of the city of Helena, Montana. The dam is for flood control, irrigation, recreation and hydroelectric power. The building of the dam created a reservoir known as Canyon Ferry Lake. ==Background==
In 1941, the first study for the dam was carried out by the Bureau of Reclamation, the Montana Water Board and Montana Power Company. Known as the Canyon Ferry Unit, the dam and power plant were approved by the Flood Control Act of 1944 which was signed on December 22. Construction began on May 24, 1949, and was completed on June 23, 1954. On December 18, 1953, the power plant's first generator became operational and the other two went online in 1954.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.usbr.gov/projects/Project.jsp?proj_Name=Canyon%20Ferry%20Unit )〕 The 1949 structure replaced the original Canyon Ferry Dam upstream. The original dam was constructed between 1896 and 1898 by the Helena Water and Electric Power Company. It was a timber crib dam with rock-fill and was high and long.
