Color image of a sign giving details about the Scoggins Dam project. Scoggins Dam and Henry Hagg Lake were constructed as a part of the Tualatin Project, intended to provide drinking water and irrigation for farms and communities in the Tualatin River watershed. Construction on the dam began in June of 1972, and the lake was opened for public recreation in the summer of 1975. Washington County maintains the recreation area and the dam with the help of the local Elks lodges, while the facilities and the lake are owned by the Bureau of Reclamation. Scoggins Dam is named for Gustavus Scoggins, whose family settled in what would become Washington County in 1848. Henry Hagg was a long time resident of the Scoggins Valley and had been one of the original initiators of the Scoggins Dam project in 1934.
Black and white image of the construction of a culvert underneath a railroad track, part of a pipeline associated with providing water to the Tualatin Valley area from Scoggins Dam. This pipeline was a part of the larger Tualatin Project, a Bureau of Reclamation project intended to provide irrigation water to the farms in the valley and drinking water to several cities, including Hillsboro and Forest Grove.

Black and white image of a county worker collecting fees for day use at Hagg Lake Park. She stands next to a pickup with an inflatable raft in the back, and behind her is a small booth with the prices listed for the various passes, from $1 per day for a single vehicle pass to $5 for a season pass for both vehicles and motorcycles. A dirt road presumably leads to the lake, which is not visible in this image.

Black and white aerial view looking up Scoggins Creek valley. The white line across the middle of the image shows where Scoggins Dam will be built. Visible in the background are several farms and other buildings which would be inundated as the reservoir filled. See WCMpic_013117 for an 'after' shot of the valley that shows the reservoir after it was filled.

Sepia-toned image of school children standing in front of and on the porch of their school building with their instructor, Mr. Vanhoon. Scoggins Valley is mostly underwater today as a result of the Scoggins Dam and Hagg Lake. Any buildings which were left at the time the valley was flooded were either removed prior to the dam's construction.
