"The Redridge Steel Dam, located near the far, northern tip of Michigan, is the largest, surviving representative of this exclusive engineering."

Above is the upstream face of the steel dam. The reservoir has been drained. That is why we see the wood-crib dam. Below is the downstream face of the steel dam.
