Description
English:
The headgate on the Imperial Canal at Sharps Heading, California, ca.1910
Photograph of the headgate on the Imperial Canal at Sharps heading, California, ca.1910, where the flow of water into the Alamo River channel and other irrigation canals further downstream was controlled. The picture was taken south of the gate looking north, northwest. The flow of water into the Alamo River was regulated by opening gates controlled by 10 wheels on the top of the structure, accessed by sets of wood stairs on either side. Wood for construction can be seen on both banks of the canal, with a section of a ladder visible at the right, along with a view of the Alamo River channel seen through the structure of the headgate.; "About 50 miles from the breach of the prehistoric Alamo River which is used as a main canal by the California Development Company is Sharps -- the point where the water is distributed into the canals of the Imperial Region. This is one of the headgates the overflow from which enters the upper part of the Alamo as waste water and empties into the Salton Sea 50 miles north."
