Denison, not Dennison. (Birthplace of Dwight David Eisenhour) Completed in
late 40's with surveying of the turbine house in '45 or '46. National Parks
Service had a recreational park, similar to Lake Mead, until 1948. First
overflow of the dam, about 1963. There has been another earthen dam, not
sure where, that exceeded the size.

(apparently) is at Dennison, Texas. That's the way they bill it
anyway. It's described as a modern even experimental technique...
