Welcome to Mike’s Dam Photo Journal

Bringing the past back into the present, welcome to Mike’s Dam Photo Journal! My name is Mike and I own Mike’s Dam Photo Journal. I lived in Page Arizona during the early years of the town, the construction of Glen Canyon Dam, and the filling of Lake Powell. I guess that makes me a piece of history.

This site is a collection of my personal image library of that time, with more being added as time allows. Take your time and look around. There are stories woven through each post and especially within other’s comments. Be sure to subscribe below so you never miss a new post. Enjoy your stay!

This 1965 photo shows the remnants of the recently completed construction of Glen Canyon Dam. The red line drawn on the photo may have been a suggested route for Lakeshore Drive.

This look down 7th Avenue in Page Arizona is from 1959 or 1960. 7th Avenue was later renamed to Lake Powell BLVD. Link in profile. #mikesdamphotojournal #pagearizona🌵 #lakepowell #glencanyondam
