	Two Rivers Gallery: Laton A. Huffman
		Huffman eventually opened a studio in nearby Miles City, where he remained for the majority of his life.
		After the passing of the Indian and the buffalo, Huffman's interest was captured by the huge herds of cattle brought to Montana Territory from Oregon and Texas to feast on the native grasses, and the cowboys who came with them.
		Huffman frequently joined roundups, traveling with is camera mounted on his "four-footed tripod" (his horse).

		Huffman Prairie Flying Field is a National Historic Landmark, the site where the Wright brothers, on the heels of their successful first flights at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina in December 1903, perfected their invention of a controlled, powered heavier-than-air machine.
		Though Huffman Prairie Flying Field was an ordinary place, with hindsight, we can see it as a pastoral landscape standing literally and figuratively at the crossroads of change, a microcosm of the technological, social and cultural transformations brought about by the second wave of the industrial revolution.
		Huffman Dam was one of five dry dams built by MCD, the capstones of a comprehensive flood control system of channels and levees.

	Miami Conservancy District - Flood Protection - MCD System
		The dams and levees operate without human intervention and have no moving parts, but people are necessary to maintain the system and monitor and operate floodgates during high-water events.
		Floodgates over storm-sewer outfalls to the river are closed during high-water events to prevent the river’s rising waters from backing up into the storm sewers into the protected areas behind the levee.
		The remainder of the time, the land behind the dams – 35,650 acres – is used predominantly for parkland and farmland.

	GeoFact No. 06, Isotelus: Ohio's State Fossil (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		After visiting the Dayton Museum of Natural History and viewing a cast of the famous Huffman Dam specimen of Isotelus, the students and teachers came up with the idea of trying to have the Huffman Dam trilobite designated as the official state fossil of Ohio.
		Perhaps the most famous Isotelus specimen was discovered in 1919 by workmen digging an outlet tunnel during the construction of the Huffman Dam on the Mad River northeast of Dayton.
		The Huffman Dam trilobite still occupies a prominent position in the paleontological exhibits at the Smithsonian more than 75 years later and is still one of the largest, complete trilobites of any kind ever collected.

	Yosemite Valley Railroad relocation for Exchequer Dam
		The selected area for the dam and its reservoir would cause approximately one fifth of the entire rail line to be relocated.
		The contracts were let to the major contractors to build the dam and relocate the Yosemite Valley railroad between Merced Falls and Detwiller.
		Since the work on the "high line" and the dam were concurrent, it was necessary for the railroad to operate on its original line during the construction.

		Exchequer, one of the largest concrete gravity arch dams at the time, was 326 feet high, backed up water for a run of 14 miles and allowed storage of 281,000 acre-feet of water.

		Huffman, about 25 years old and already a skilled photographer, traveled west from Iowa to Montana Territory to become post-photographer at Fort Keogh.
		Huffman's genius was not only in his artistry before there was the automatic camera or fast film or exposure meter.
		This one was rather unique in that it was built from lumber salvaged from the wrecked steamboat F.Y. Batchelor—one of the boats used on the Yellowstone River in the early 1800s to carry buffalo hides down the river.

	AFRP - Merced River Wing-Dam Gravel Monitoring (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab1.netlab.uky.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		On the Merced River in the area around the town of Snelling, there are several riparian diversions that are operated by the construction of wing dams within the river in late spring.
		These wing dams are like peninsulas of streambed material that extend partially across the river to direct water into riparian ditches.
		The downstream movement and distribution of spawning-sized gravels in the wing dams will be monitored by placing tracer gravel in the wing dams prior to high-flow periods.

	What Dreams We Have (Chapter 12)
		The plans to erect the memorial at the Huffman Prairie Flying Field led to the idea to rename Simms Station, the interurban railway stop at Huffman Prairie Flying Field, after the Wright brothers and to construct a waiting station at the stop.
		Ultimately, the Huffmans agreed to naming the station after the Wright brothers, and on April 1, 1913, the station's name was to be changed to Wright Station.
		The subjects of the four plaques are the Huffman Prairie Flying Field, the names of early aviators, the contribution of Wright Field, and the prehistoric mounds located on the memorial grounds.

	Flood of 1913 Collection, Historical Scetchl
		Not wanting to see shantytowns spring up around the construction sites to house the hundreds of migrant workers, some with families, he built at each of the five dams a village camp for the workers and their families, complete with sanitary sewers, water lines, electricity, green space, schools and cafeterias.
		A full-time caretaker was assigned to each of the five dams and nine local protection features (levees, floodwalls and channel enlargements).
		Since completion at the end of 1922, the dams have held back waters on over 1000 occasions, and at no time has more than 60 per cent of the capacity been reached.

	Celebrating The Success Of The Wright Brothers & The Invention of the Airplane
		Note: Huffman Prairie is a pristine prairie that remains exactly as it was 100 years ago, because it is part of a flood plain created by the construction of Huffman Dam after the great flood of 1913 that inundated Dayton.
		In 1931 all of the land east of Huffman Dam (which included the Arnold and Foulois houses) was renamed Patterson Field in memory of Lt. Frank Stuart Patterson who died in a test flight in a DH-4 airplane over Wilbur Wright Field in 1918.
		Residents of the two houses could watch the activities of the Wrights at Huffman Prairie during their development of a practical airplane during 1904-1905 and the further activities of the Wright Flying School, the Wright Exhibition team and the testing of airplanes built by the Wright Co. in 1910-1916.

		Portaging around every dam is recommended even for the most experienced canoeist.
		Even those dams which have been broached are dangerous due to remaining debris.
		DO NOT approach dams from the downstream side -- the hydraulic effect below dams may draw a boat upstream into the waterfall where it will be capsized.
