Drainage Project Revived For Browns Valley Flood Control
Browns Valley excitement grows as engineer Mr. Chamberlain surveys Big Stone lake and Minnesota river to back a two state drainage plan. The program envisions a dam on the Little Minnesota above Browns Valley, a spillway to the Minnesota river, dredging the Minnesota channel, and dyking the lake’s upper end to curb floods and extend navigable waters toward the village. Funding relies on land benefit assessments across twenty thousand acres, with lower-end improvements aiding upper sections. Public plans and cost estimates will be shown locally, then joint boards and state engineers will review before federal approval.
