Did you know that most of the salt that's dumped on northern highways comes from ancient salt beds under the Great Lakes? In the 1950s, miners dug a 1,750-foot shaft down into the salt from an island in Cleveland's harbor. From here, a vast honeycomb of underground rooms stretches three and a half miles out under Lake Erie. www.wcpn.org/spotlight/news/2001/0301salt-mine.html	USACE Digital Visual Library > > > http://images.usace.army.mil/ < < < This comprehensive, searchable gallery is a one-stop source for photographs, illustrations, artwork, clip art, logos, maps, and posters of a majority of the Corps of Engineers civil and military projects from around the world.
