Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The Wasatch Research Center photograph collection consists of 127 photographs taken or commissioned by the U.S. Forest Service Intermountain Forest and Range Experiment Station in Ogden, Utah, and sent to the Wasatch Research Station in Farmington between 1930 and 1955. Most of the photos, both from the ground and from the air, were part of exhibits or published reports intended to document floods and flood damage, man-made attempts to control flooding and erosion, natural and man-made drainage, riparian areas, dams, and watershed improvement. In particular, employees of the Experiment Station and Research Center presented the exhibits to members of the state and national legislatures after a series of deadly and destructive floods during the 1920s, 1930s, and 1950s as evidence that investing in terracing and other “erosion and flood control structures” would be cost-effective in the long-run.
