Bonneville Dam, Columbia River, Oregon and Washington
The Bonneville Dam is a significant hydroelectric dam located on the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest, straddling the border between Oregon and Washington. It is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and was the first dam constructed on the Columbia River, completed in 1938 as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal. The dam plays a vital role in power generation, river navigation, and fishery management in the region.
