Mark Twain Lake
Mark Twain Lake is located in Ralls County, Missouri and Monroe County, Missouri. It was created by the Clarence Cannon Dam (formerly called ''Joanna Dam'') impounding the Salt River and is located about southwest of Hannibal. The lake was named for Missouri author Mark Twain and part of the area around it is Mark Twain State Park. The village of Florida, birthplace of Mark Twain, is mostly surrounded by the lake.
== Authorization and purpose ==
In 1937 the Joanna Dam project was first proposed as an answer to many years of flooding by the Salt River. With support and expertise of many, including Representative Clarence Cannon, the multi-purpose project was authorized by Congress in the Flood Control Act of October 1962. The dam and the lake offer multiple benefits to Northeast Missouri including: hydroelectricity, flood Control, recreation, fish and wildlife conservation, water supply (shortage of existing ground water), navigation.〔

The dam was dedicated in 1984.〔http://www.mvs.usace.army.mil/Missions/Recreation/MarkTwainLake/About/MarkTwainLakeHistory.aspx〕
