| This Aerial photograph of Grand Coulee Dam was taken by Craig Brougher during the 2015 annual shoreline investigation of Lake Roosevelt. Grand Coulee Dam is in the foreground and Steamboat Rock and Banks Lake are in the background. |

| This photograph by Bureau of Reclamation Hydrologic Technician Craig Brougher shows the backside of Grand Coulee Dam, with Lake Roosevelt on the right, above the dam; and Rufus Woods Lake on the left, below the dam, both of which are part of the Columbia River. The town of Coulee Dam is actually two communities on opposite sides of the river, Engineers Town with its Maple Trees showing their Fall colors, and Mason City across the bridge. Both communities were incorporated in 1959 into the town of Coulee Dam. |

| The Columbia River tops Grand Coulee Dam as extra water makes its way from Canada, filling local reservoirs. The spill has been cooling the town of Coulee Dam during the high heat of the last couple days, with temperature differences of at least 15 degrees from Grand Coulee to Coulee Dam. As of last Friday, the spill was expected to continue through this week. — Scott Hunter photo, July 3, 2013 |

| People often ask where Lake Roosevelt begins. Here is a photo taken above Grand Coulee Dam, where the "lake" starts, backing up into Canada to the headwaters of the Columbia River. |
