Some possibility the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) may have worked on this, given the proximity of the former nursery service building. However, a Works Progress Administration (WPA) Transient Camp located S of Starve-Hollow constructed the dam impounding Starve Hollow Lake, as well as the fish hatchery. Construction of the camp began in 1936 and lasted until 1937.
