Climb To Safety In Case of a Flash Flood PHOTO HERE Foundations from old CCC Camp Map of the old CCC Camp Included on the information kiosk near the picnic area. The CCC was part of President Roosevelt's New Deal Program, designed to help the economy recover after the Depression, providing conservation service jobs for young unemployed men. Cap House used to store dynamite The CCC projects at Pearce Ferry were related to the creation of Lake Mead which would begin to fill when Hoover Dam was finished. The men conducted geological and archaeological studies in caves and other sites that would be submerged when the waters rose. They also cleared the area around the shore and built a bathing beach and facilities so people could enjoy the newly created lake. Seismograph Station You can see the Seismograph Station on the hillside from Pearce Ferry Camp Area. (This was actually the generator house for the Seismograph Station) When Hoover Dam was completed in 1936, the waters of the Colorado River were blocked, and Lake Mead was created. This was the largest feat of engineering ever attempted, and no one knew how the great weight of Lake Mead would affect the stability of the earth's crust. Scientists became concerned about a series of earthquakes that began in 1938, and built the station here to study them. After ten years, the earthquakes subsided.
