e/Laguna Diversion Dam

Information
has gloss	eng: The Laguna Diversion Dam is an earthfill diversion dam located 13 miles Northeast of Yuma, Arizona. It creates the Laguna Reservoir along the Colorado River. Constructed between 1909 and 1924, the Laguna Dam was decorated with numerous swastikas, thus developing the eventual nickname "Swastika Dam." It should be strongly noted that the swastikas present on this structure were not put there for racist reasons or anything remotely negative. They were placed there far before Hitler altered the meaning of the swastika. This dam was the first authorized dam built on the Colorado which originally diverted water to farmlands in the Yuma area.
