The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in collaboration with the U.S. federal government built Kinzua Dam between 1960 and 1965. For more information on the Kinzua Dam, view the Kinzua Dam Project page.
Army Corps of Engineers and Resettlement
Between April and September of 1961, the Army Corps surveyed and mapped our lands. This survey was to map the flowage and clearing easements of the Allegany Reservoir. From this survey, the Army Corps drew up maps of our land that they were taking for the reservoir and of the proposed resettlement areas, Jimersontown and Steamburg.
In May of 1961 the Army Corps and the Seneca Nation began negotiating the individual land owner boundaries of those maps.The Army Corps of Engineers Stance on Kinzua Dam
The following is an official publication of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regarding their stance on Kinzua Dam and the Allegany Reservoir. It was published in October of 1963, three years after construction of the dam had begun.
