Apache-Sitgreaves/Spillway

The Apache Sitgreaves Spillway is a concrete gravity dam located in Heber, Arizona. It is part of the Salt River Project and was built in the early 1950s to provide flood control and water storage for the Salt River Valley. The spillway is located on the Sitgreaves Pass, a gap in the Mogollon Rim, and is the only major water control structure in the area. The spillway is approximately 1,000 feet long and has a maximum height of about 70 feet. It has a total storage capacity of about 1.2 million acre-feet. The spillway is used to regulate the flow of water from the Salt River into the Verde River, which is a tributary of the Colorado River. The spillway also helps to reduce the risk of flooding in the Salt River Valley.

I needed a place to stop with cellphone reception for a zoom meeting mid day. 5 bars full reception for Verizon. And it's a beautiful place to stop
