Notes
  • Significance: The Boise Diversion Dam and Powerplant are important components in the Boise Project, a Bureau of Reclamation effort to irrigate the Boise and Payette River valleys in Idaho. The diversion dam, completed in 1908, was one of the first Boise Project structures. It directs water into the New York Canal, which carries water throughout Boise Valley. The powerplant, constructed in 1912, initially provided power to construct Arrowrock Dam, and retains much of its original hydroelectric equipment. The dam and powerplant are listed on the National Register of Historic Places for their contributions to the successful development of the Boise Valley and as an example of early twentieth-century hydroelectric engineering.
