Collection of 179 snapshots documenting flood and erosion control projects on levees and farmland in the Illinois and Mississippi River watersheds in the 1920s and 1930s, including the work of the Civilian Conservation Corps [CCC] in Illinois. The collection was assembled by Leon C. Craig, a civil engineer who was employed by the State of Illinois Division of Waterways in the 1920s and served as a project supervisor at the Tuscola, Illinois CCC camp in the mid-to-late 1930s. Craig was involved in a number of projects relating to flood prevention and mitigation and the promotion sustainable agriculture through better drainage systems. Several interesting early images show flooded rivers overflowing their banks and flooded towns; most document construction work (levees, culverts, and other drainage infrastructure) and topography relating to waterways, as well as the grounds and men of the Tuscola CCC camp.Nearly all of the photos are in very good condition; a few have creasing or small chips. While there are enough captions on the versos to identify the compiler and some of the locations, most are uncaptioned. Size ranges from 2.75" x 4.5" to 4" x 6".
