Dam at Big Bear Lake, California, USA: A Glimpse into the Past This photograph, taken circa 1920s, showcases an aerial view of Big Bear Dam in California, USA. The image transports us back in time, offering a unique perspective of the dam and its surrounding landscape. Big Bear Dam, located in the San Bernardino National Forest, was built in the early 1900s to provide water and hydroelectric power to the growing communities in the San Bernardino Valley. The dam, a testament to engineering prowess, stands proudly amidst the tranquil waters of Big Bear Lake. The photograph reveals the dam's impressive structure, its thick concrete walls and the intricate network of canals and pipes that crisscross the lake. The trees lining the lake's edge add a touch of natural beauty, contrasting the industrial elements of the dam. The aerial view also highlights the vastness of Big Bear Lake, with its crystal-clear waters reflecting the blue California sky. The trees, a vibrant green, frame the dam and add depth to the image. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the harmony between nature and human ingenuity. It is a reminder of the rich history of California's water supply and utilities infrastructure and the role dams played in shaping the state's development.
