Yes Rick, it is an earthen dam. This dam holds no water but constructed to control water flow during times of flood. Construction began in 1939 and completed in 1941.

Thanks mainbyte for posting your picture of the Glen Canyon Dam.

You are welcome. I hope by your title of this thread that you were looking for folks to add pictures of dams, if not please pardon my intrusion :>;)..
