I've been looking for "stuff" of the Havasu area BEFORE Parker Dam; not much available but found this link and a few isolated pix of the Needles/Topock area.  US 66 page
Lake Havasu was all the way up to Needles after the dam was built.  Here's a shot of the Red Rock bridge going over to Topock, circa 1947.  I believe the Army Corp of Engineers built the dikes to channel the river in the '50's... :confused

Cool stuff :good  

There are alot of pics of them building the dam at Roosevelt back in the day. Including a big flood that wiped it out about a quarter of the way thru. They have the pics  around the bar at Apache :drink
