| Notes | This early survey of the Siletz River was undertaken to consider putting in dams for flood control, water storage and power generation. The author suggested developing five power sites along the Siletz to fully utilize the power in the fall of the river. Undeveloped power sites considered were at Valsetz, Siletz Falls, around Sunshine Creek, and near Euchre Creek. As is typical of the period, the needs of fish and wildlife were not considered. Precipitation and flow data are included. A pocket includes 5 maps, some with nice detail about the countryside around 1930, including some named farms. |
