	Under Control: The Damming of the Missouri River
		The dams and reservoirs built as a result of the act from south to north in South Dakota are Gavin's Point (Lewis and Clark Lake), Fort Randall (Lake Francis Case), Big Bend (Lake Sharpe), and Oahe (Lake Oahe).
		Oahe Dam is the largest of the dams in South Dakota and is the largest rolled earth dam in North America.
		Over all we have determined that the best solution for all four problems is to allow the dams to retain more water, with slurry movement of the sediment, pay just compensation for the tribes and maintain the natural stretch of the river as a national park area.

	A photographic journey up the Missouri River - Oahe Dam and Lake Oahe
		The Oahe Reservoir in this low-oblique photograph is one of many dams and reservoirs constructed in the late 1940s and the 1950s along the Missouri River, from eastern Montana through North Dakota and South Dakota.
		Dams like the Oahe serve to impound, for later use, water from spring rains and snowmelt that swells the volume of the Missouri River during early and mid-spring.
		Lake Oahe and Oahe Dam, completed in 1958 and one of the largest rolled-earth dams in the United States, are featured in this infrared, low-oblique photograph.

		Dam construction and channelization have collectively and dramatically modified fish and wildlife habitat throughout the entire Missouri River.
		Mainstem dams have eliminated migrational movements of fish, modified the hydrocycle, changed the depositional nature of sediment carried by the Missouri River and its tributaries, all but eliminated the periodic inundation of the flood plain, transformed the configuration of the river channel and associated backwaters, and caused colder summer water temperatures.
		The Garrison reach of the Missouri River extends from Garrison Dam (river mile 1390) to the headwaters of Lake Oahe approximately 75-150 miles downstream depending on the elevation of Lake Oahe.
