Exhibition Label: "Claimed: Land Use in Western America," Jun-2007, Kate Meyer “Try though they did, Westerners never quite succeeded in fencing in water as they did land, a failure that left them with a more complicated rural situation than the East’s…Westerners were caught between two structures of power, one symbolized by federal dams and ditches, the other by private fences and signs.” Donald Worster, Rivers of Empire: Water, Aridity, and the Growth of the American West, 1985
