  • Summary

  • Not many people today remember the small town of Canton. If they do remember, they were children, or were very young at the time. It happened in the 1950's. Canton and its surrounding farms and ranches were submerged under Canyon Ferry Lake when Canyon Ferry Dam was completed. The dam and reservoir play an important role in Montana. They benefit thousands of Montanans, providing electricity, irrigation, flood control, and recreation. But many probably don't know about Canton. Jay Meyer was only three-years-old when the waters started covering a good part of his family's farm. The Bureau of Reclamation owns the old Meyer place today. Learn more about your ad choices.
