Biographical/Historical Note
The Cooper Creek Watershed Improvement District in western Lawrence County, like many such districts in the state, was established in the early 1960s to assist in flood control. Although the project did not achieve all the goals set early on, it did result in the creation of several small dams. The collection was donated by the widow of one of the early commissioners of the district, Boyce Durham.
