Where did the electricity for rural electrification in the Hill Country come from? In part, from the dams on the Colorado River, including the Mansfield and the Inks, built with New Deal funds. The Lower Colorado River Authority was tasked in 1934 with managing the six dams, including their recreational, flood control, and electricity aspects. The dams create what are now called the Highland Lakes. More on the LCRA: http://www.lcra.org/about/maps/index.html
