North Platte project
(PLAT), unit of the U.S. Bureau of
Reclamation, in the North Platte R. valley, W Nebr. and E Wyo. It
supplies hydroelectric power to many towns and industries and provides
irrigation for land extending along the valley from Guernsey, Wyo., to
below Bridgeport, Nebr. Among the project's many dams and reservoirs
are Guernsey Reservoir, formed by Guernsey Dam (completed 1927), and
Pathfinder Reservoir, created by Pathfinder Dam (completed 1909). There
are also several large dams on the branches of the North Platte. The
power system of the project has been integrated with the Missouri R.
basin project.
