The Lake in the Desert Major Powell on temporary overfiow
Professor Powell, head of the geological survey, believes the sudden Colorado desert lake formed by overfiow will be temporary and the valley will revert to its desert state. He notes the Colorado’s history of cutting channels and damming the Gulf of California and explains why the climate would remain dry even if a permanent lake formed. The article also surveys Native American river names and their origins in Western Pennsylvania.
