- Rolled Earth Dams is a color documentary produced by the United States Army Corps of Engineers. It explains how earth dams are made. The USACE was established June 16, 1775 by the Continental Congress and continues to this day. This film was probably produced in the 1940’s based on the automobiles pictured.

Enid Lake is one of the four lakes in North Mississippi operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Construction on the Enid Lake Project began in 1947 and was completed in December 1952. Enid Lake is part of the Yazoo Headwater Project, which was designed to help protect the Mississippi Delta from flooding.
