• Fire Water Supply System - Loleta CA
    In 1941, the Works Progress Administration (WPA) built a fire-fighting water supply system, including underground pipes and surface hydrants, for the small, dairy center of Loleta in the Eel River delta area. Although it is usually impossible to verify such infrastructure work visually, in this case an ancient hydrant/standpipe reveals that the WPA work was carried out.
  • Peugh Road Improvement - Loleta CA
    In 1937, the Works Progress Administration (WPA) widened, graded and paved Peugh Road on the outskirts of the small dairy town of Loleta, in the Eel River delta area. A visit in 2021 showed that Peugh Road has changed very little since the WPA worked on it.
