Both the cascades and the old lock structure were submerged by the Bonneville Reservoir, also known as Lake Bonneville, the reservoir that formed behind the dam. The original navigation lock at Bonneville opened in 1938 and was, at that time, the highest single-lift lock in the world, with a vertical lift of 60 feet. [ 12 ]
English: Map text: Hundreds of years ago, an entire hillside along the Columbia River collapsed in a massive landslide covering an area of about six square miles. The Bonneville landslide was so huge that it created a natural dam in the Columbia River, forming a temporary lake stretching all the way to Wallula Gap, 150 miles upriver.
The following is a list of dams and reservoirs in Arkansas. All major dams are linked below. The National Inventory of Dams defines any "major dam" as being 50 feet (15 m) tall with a storage capacity of at least 5,000 acre-feet (6,200,000 m 3 ), or of any height with a storage capacity of 25,000 acre-feet (31,000,000 m 3 ).

The Bonneville landslide sent a large amount of debris south from Table Mountain and Greenleaf Peak, covering more than 5.5 square miles (14 km 2). The debris slid into the Columbia Gorge close to modern-day Cascade Locks, Oregon, blocking the Columbia River with a natural dam approximately 200 feet (61 m) high and 3.5 miles (5.6 km) long.

The IEWA initially pushed for improvements such as bigger locks at Bonneville Dam in 1938 and the construction of McNary Dam on the Columbia, which would improve navigation to the mouth of the Snake. [154] In 1941 a bill was first introduced in Congress authorizing the Army Corps to develop the lower Snake River.

Together these peaks form an impressive group on the Washington side of the Gorge. Between 1425 and 1450 AD the south side of Table Mountain sheared off and dammed the Columbia River in an event known as the Bonneville Slide. [4] The river soon carved a new bend around to the south, but for a while Native Americans living in the area could walk ...
