John Vize posted two photos with the comment: "The Steel Dam on the Rock River, lock # 30 Milan, Illinois under construction circa:1893 and now. This dam was replaced when it was about 100 years old. This provides water depth between lock 29 and 30 on the Rock River section where I live."

| John Vize commented on his post, cropped Bob Nolen: John Vize This is the actual "Steel Dam" which is only a flood gate. The COE used to open it during floods up until the federal government gave the canal to the state. Another piece of puzzle causing flooding for everyone upstream. John Vize: Bob Nolen The dam never increased flooding when it was first built. The Mississippi can and does back up all the way over it. You are right about man messing things up. Sea walls everywhere like Rock Island, Milan, Big Island etc. etc. etc. |
