Lahontan Dam THE KEYNOTE of the Newlands Project is the Lahontan dam. It fur- nishes all of the electric power, and all of the water for irrigation pur- poses in the lower valley. The dam was built in 1911 and since then the Newlands Project has become one of the most fertile and productive regions in the state. The many farms in the valley produce alfalfa with which to feed many beef cattle during the winter. Many turkeys and chickens are raised to be shipped out of the state, and many sheep and fine dairy stock are found in the community. The electric power generated by the Lahontan power house serves many homes and business places not only in the Fallon district, but also other towns in the state.
