Check out this amazing photo of the east side of the Sweetwater Dam. Sweetwater Dam was completed in 1888. We estimate this picture just after completion of the dam while the reservoir has not been filled with winter rains. The Sweetwater Dam played a major role in the agricultural development of San Diego. This image is from the Glass Plate Negative collection from MOC (Municipal Operations Center) and PUD (Public Utilities Department) that will be put up later in 2023. Please enjoy this sneak preview.
