Verde River

Bartlett and Horseshoe Dams

Więcej o książce

The Hohokam tribe, known for their advanced irrigation systems along the Verde River, mysteriously vanished, leaving a legacy admired by early Arizona settlers. In the early 20th century, efforts to reconstruct their canal system led to significant developments, including the Salt River Project and the construction of Bartlett Dam and Horseshoe Reservoir to support World War II copper mining. The Verde River, referred to as "The River of Time," serves as a crucial historical and ecological lifeline, shaping the growth of modern Phoenix, Arizona.
