| Notes | Summarizes state of the Salmon River in 1939, including industries, commercial and recreational use of the estuary. Makes the case for removing submerged rocks that made navigation difficult and dangerous. Map shows river before the Army Corps removed rocks. Accompanied by note from F.D.R. saying the project should wait--not enough population or commerce to justify the project. The project was finally completed in 1948. Map shows harbor before improvements made. |
