English:
TVA's design plan for Wheeler Dam on the Tennessee River in Lauderdale County in the U.S. state of Alabama. As TVA had little engineering or dam construction experience in 1933, it relied on consultation from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Bureau of Reclamation for the dam's plan.
