Each project history gives the reason or reasons for its initiation, location, authority for the work, a description of the work, by whom, how and when it was done and the approximate cost. The second section is composed of descriptions of the twenty main features of construction. Photographs accompanying each feature bear descriptive titles. The third section is a brief analysis of outstanding reconnaissance, surveys, special work and investigations. Each is accompanied by a location map.
