Talk:Lower Monumental Dam

name
If there's a Lower Monumental Dam, why isn't there an Upper Monumental or Monumental Dam? Just curious. Shannon talk   contribs  sign!  :) 17:37, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Answer: It's situated below "Monumental Rock" (appx coordinates: 46.592233, -118.467505), also known as "Ship Rock". Lewis & Clark Expedition mentioned it in their diary on October 14, 1805, during their travels along that part of the Snake River. Therefore, it is "lower than Monumental [Rock]". Perhaps that's why it was named thus. The next dam upstream is "Little Goose"; they chose that name independently, so there isn't a "Monumental" or "Upper Monumental" Dam.
