Laguna Diversion Dam
The Laguna Diversion Dam is an earthfill dam 13 miles Northeast of Yuma, Arizona creating 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." This dam was the first authorized dam built on the Colorado which originally diverted water to farmlands in the Yuma area.
