Records. 1928-1956. 3 linear feet. The bulk of the collection consists of subject files concerning individual resettlement or irrigation projects in Montana. Some files concern local irrigation districts or specific areas such as counties, ranches, farms, etc. Additionally, some files consist only of proposals for projects which were never approved. The files include intra-agency and inter-agency correspondence and memoranda; project proposals; progress reports; engineering reports; preliminary budgets; Wheeler-Case Act forms and data; water flow and precipitation statistics; work orders; appraisal reports; and project maps. In some cases it is unclear from the records when a project is developed as an individual project and when it is tied to a larger project (e.g. the relationship of the Milk River project and the Saco Divide project). Projects that are possibly related to each other are so indicated in the folder titles. Two files, "Wheeler-Case program" and "Indian resettlement" do not relate to specific projects; instead, those files contain general information about the indicated subjects. Prominent correspondents include Dr. P.L. Slavgold, principal agricultural economist for the Denver regional office; John A. Goe, assistant area director; J.D. Matthews, associate agricultural economist; C.H. Wilson, area director; Senator Burton K. Wheeler in his capacity as chairman of the Interstate Commerce Committee concerning the Kinsey Land Use Adjustment project and Fort Keogh; and Senator James Murray concerning the Whitehall Irrigation District.
