The Theodore Roosevelt Dam is located in Arizona, in the Southwestern United States.  The dam, which is primarily for irrigation and flood control rather than to generate electrical power, was built in the early 1900s.  With a height of over 100 meters (350 ft), the spillway moves up to 4,300 cubic meters of water (150k cu ft) per second.  Contributor and pilot RusselKriz85 used a drone to create this amazing aerial video of the structure, which is a  protected landmark under US conservation laws.

Get an aerial view of one of America's tallest bridges, compliments of contributor and pilot Luiz Gerbase.  The Navajo Bridge in the Southwestern USA state of Arizona is actually two separate spans over the Colorado River.  The original bridge opened in 1929 and is 250 meters long (834 ft.).  The second span, which is 23 meters (75 ft.) longer, opened in 1995 and now handles all vehicular traffic.  With a height of about 142 meters (around 470 ft.), both rank amongst the country's ten tallest bridges. 

Grafton: Utah Ghost Town

Grafton Utah

NOSTROMO...

Grafton, Utah is perhaps the USA's best-known true "ghost town".  It was settled in an area south of what is now Zion Park in 1859.  Between flooding, silting of its river, and attacks from the native population, it was more or less completely abandoned by 1920.  Gone, but not forgotten: with the dawn of the movie age, Grafton was used in the first outdoor "talkie" movie in 1929 and later in the 1969 classic Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.  Check out Grafton from above in this drone video by NOSTROMO.

Plaza Blanca is a popular hiking area in northern New Mexico.  It's situated about an hour drive north of Santa Fe, in the north-central part of the state.  The rock formations here were immortalized in a painting by Georgia O'Keeffe, who had a clear view of the scene from her house in nearby Abiquiu.   Her masterpiece, entitled the White Place in Sun, is considered one of the great works of 20th century American painting.  Get a bird's eye view of the storied Plaza Blanca in this excellent drone video.

Ghost Towns & Mines: Blair, NV 2019

ray dunaki...

Historically, the USA state of Nevada was closely tied to the mining industry.  In the 19th and early 20th centuries, mining finds created instant towns, some of which were subsequently abandoned.  In this drone video by ray dunakin, you'll get a bird's eye view of one of these Nevada ghost towns.  It's called Blair, and it's situated roughly midway down the diagonal section of Nevada's western border.  Blair emerged out of the silver strike in nearby Tonopah in the early 1900's; by 1920 it was a ghost town.

Contributor and pilot Michael McColl created this excellent drone video of a well-known rock formation in the Southwestern USA called Mexican Hat.  It derives its name from its sombrero shape, which you'll see clearly in the video.  The rock can be climbed via two separate routes.  The rock (and the town which is named after it) are located near the San Juan River in San Juan County, which lies in the southeastern corner of Utah, not far from the Four Corners area where Utah touches three other states.

Of the famous "red rocks" of Sedona, Arizona, probably the most famous is the one you'll see in this drone video by contributor and pilot JordanB22: Bell Rock. It's located near the town of Oak Creek, just south of the city of Sedona.  Like the other rock formations here, it's what's known as a butte - basically, a giant "rock hill" arising out of an otherwise flat landscape.  Created by deposition and erosion patterns, buttes are among the more distinctive features of the Southwestern USA landscape.

The United States and Mexico share two deserts, both of which are amongst the world's 15 largest: the Chihuahuan and Sonoran Deserts both straddle the two countries' long border.  The Sonoran covers about 300k square km (around 120k square mi.) in the states of California, Arizona, and New Mexico on the USA (northern) side and the states of Sonora and Baja California on the Mexico (southern) side.  In this drone video by contributor and pilot AZGeek, you'll get a look at the Sonoran Desert just northwest of Tucson in Arizona.

The area west of Great Salt Lake, Utah is home to many instances of a natural phenomenon called a salt flat or salt pan.  These form in desert environments when water evaporates quickly and the ground can't absorb the minerals which had dissolved in the water.  The most well-known of these is the Bonneville Salt Flats. Seen here in this drone video by primeson, the Bonneville Flats are owned by the US Bureau of Land Management.  These wide-open expanses have been used to set numerous land-speed records.

AirVuz contributor and pilot AerialWings brings us this excellent video of Mt. Charleston in Nevada.  Mt. Charleston is considered a sub-peak of Mt. Jefferson, which in turn if part of the Toqima Range near the southern tip of the state.  Mt. Charleston has a peak elevation of just under 12k above sea level (just over 3.6k m).  Despite its rather modest elevation, it's actually one of the more prominent peaks in the United States.  It's easily accessible from Las Vegas, which is located about 35 mi.

The Southwestern USA is known in part for its unique geological features.  One of the most unusual is the one seen in this drone video by AirVuz contributor RobSkyHigh: the Waterpocket Fold.  The geological structure runs for close to 100 mi. (around 160 km) through three counties in southern Utah.  It was formed during a geological period known as the Laramide orogeny, which began about 80 million years ago and ran for around 40 million years, a period during which the present-day Rocky Mountains were formed.
