TexasGulf Potash Pond One A Dam, Industrial dam in Grand County, United States.
The TexasGulf Potash Pond One A Dam controls water levels for mineral extraction through a system of evaporation ponds in the Utah desert.
The construction of this dam marked the expansion of potash mining operations in Grand County during the late twentieth century industrial development.
The dam represents the mining heritage of Utah, where industrial facilities shape the economic structure of local communities.
Access to the dam requires prior authorization due to its industrial nature, and visitors should contact facility management for permission.

Satellite imagery has transformed how we view remote locations on Earth, offering perspectives on places that are often invisible or difficult to reach from ground level. This collection presents natural formations, artificial structures and historical sites from an aerial vantage point. From geological features like the circular Richat Structure in Mauritania's desert to ancient geoglyphs and modern engineering achievements, these images provide a distinct view of our planet's diversity. Locations documented include the geometric Nazca Lines in Peru, the pyramid structure of El Castillo in Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula and the Badlands Guardian in Alberta, a natural rock formation that resembles a head wearing headphones when seen from above. The collection also features Palm Jumeirah in Dubai, an artificial archipelago shaped like a palm tree, the vivid blue potash evaporation ponds in Utah, the pink waters of Lake Hillier in Western Australia and the volcanic island of Surtsey off Iceland. Additional examples include the Atacama Giant in Chile, a prehistoric geoglyph, the heart shaped Galesnjak island off Croatia's coast and the ship graveyard of the former Aral Sea in Uzbekistan, which documents the ecological consequences of human intervention.
