SALTON SEA
[publisher's logo with BN Co]
This title was given to this volume of water by the Reclamation Service. Their map for 1906 gives the water surface as 247 square miles, the break in the Colorado allowing the whole volume of the river to flow into the depression for nearly two years. Skillful engineering repaired the breach and returned the river to its old channel.
