The Madden Dam on the Chagres River supplying the Panama Canal.
The Madden Dam on the Chagres River which supplies the Panama Canal. The photographer is looking east-by-south at the face of the dam which was completed in 1935. The Madden Dam was built to prevent the occasionally torrential flow of the once wild Chagres River, which flows into the navigational route of Gatun Lake and to control the level of water in the Madden Lake during the dry season.
