Notes
  • Significance: It was the smallest of the six major Federal switchyards at Hoover Dam. This switchyard was constructed to be the principal point at which Nevada's allocation of power from Hoover Dam could be delivered to utility companies serving the state. Power from the switchyard initially helped expand the mining industry of the state, and later it provided electricity to the growing gaming, residential, and military economy of the Las Vegas Valley.
  • Survey number: HAER NV-27-D
  • Building/structure dates: after. 1936- before. 1953 Initial Construction
