The Copco Dam and Powerhouse were built between 1918 and 1922. Copco (California Oregon Power COmpany) is on the Klamath River North East of Yreka California. Irongate Lake is a few miles down river from Copco and was built in the 1960's. It was put in to control the uneven flow of water caused by Copco's flow changes due to power needs.
