Looking SSW from just below Indiana end of <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.lrl.usace.army.mil/Portals/64/docs/Ops/Navigation/Booklet_McAlpine.pdf">McAlpine Dam</a>.
<p>New cuts in dam, with snow and ice.
Gaps ("castellations") were cut into top of dam to allow water to flow over dam in times of low water.
This was intended to provide a year-round wet habitat for plants and animals.
I think most of the additional water just flowed southwest until joining up with the water leaking through the dam gates.
As a result, I don't think much new wet habitat was created.
