Biographical Note

Joseph Barlow Lippincott was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, on October 10, 1864, the son of Joshua Allen and Harriet (Phillips) Lippincott. He attended Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, from 1880 to 1882, when the family moved to Kansas where he entered the University of Kansas at Lawrence.
Upon his graduation, he worked as track engineer in Missouri for the Santa Fe Railway System, and in the spring of 1889, was promoted to the position of division engineer.
From 1889 to 1892 Lippincott was topographer for the U.S. Geological Survey in charge of making topographic maps in New Mexico and California. In 1893 he became assistant engineer for the Bear Valley Irrigation Company, on the construction of an early irrigation project on the headwaters of the Santa Ana River in Southern California.
In 1895 Lippincott accepted the position of resident hydrographer for the State of California, with the Hydrographic Branch of the U.S. Geological Survey. At this time there were practically no stream-flow measurements available in this area. He established many of the gaging stations on the principal streams and secured local observers who served without pay. The rainfall and stream-flow records obtained in this early day were of great value in developing plans for the future water supply of California.
In the fall of 1897 and the spring of 1898 Lippincott served as a member of the board of consulting engineers of the City of Los Angeles, Calif., in connection with litigation in the San Fernando Valley over the pueblo rights of the city.
In the spring of 1899 Lippincott prepared an exhaustive report for the Geological Survey on the water supply, available reservoir sites, and irrigable areas on the Gila River in southwestern Arizona. After this assignment he made a comprehensive study of the development of the surface waters of the upper Santa Ana River and the San Bernardino artesian basin. The results of both of these studies were published in the Water Supply Papersof the U.S. Geological Survey.
With the organization of the U.S. Reclamation Service in 1902 Lippincott became supervising engineer of all Reclamation Service activities in the Pacific Coast region extending from the Klamath River in Oregon to the lower Colorado River in Arizona and California. His work included the preparation of plans and estimates of cost and construction of the Klamath and the Yuma projects until July 1905.
The need for additional water for the City of Los Angeles was brought forcibly to the attention of the water commissioners in July of 1904 when, for a ten day period, the daily consumption exceeded the inflow into the city's reservoirs by nearly four million gallons. In 1905, Lippincott was appointed with O.K. Parker and William Mulholland to a board of engineers which was to make recommendations in regard to the expansion of the water supply, investigating seven sources. The decision was that the Owens River was the nearest adequate supply and that to augment the city's needs temporarily at lower cost by withdrawals from adjacent artesian areas would result in the curtailment of the development of the surrounding country.
In July 1906, Lippincott left the Reclamation Service to become assistant chief engineer of the Owens River Aqueduct. When completed, the Owens River Aqueduct had a capacity of 400 cu. ft. per sec. and consisted of open-canal, covered conduit, steel and concrete siphons, sixty miles of tunnels, five dams, storage reservoirs, and three hydroelectric power plants for construction purposes. One of the first municipal projects of magnitude to be built by day labor under the supervision of its engineering staff, this was a monumental undertaking for such a small city. Lippincott had much to do with the final location of the aqueduct, was in charge of the preparation of the detail plans and estimates of cost, and initiated and established a new system of construction cost keeping together with the bonus system which developed keen rivalry between different divisions and aided in breaking many records for rapid tunnel construction.
Upon the completion of the aqueduct in 1913, Lippincott entered private practice at Los Angeles, specializing in water supply for irrigation and municipal uses under the firm name of "Engineering Offices of J.B. Lippincott," in which company he was active until the time of his death. During this period he was engaged as consultant on water supply investigations and water works construction for many of the western cities including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, Alameda, Berkeley, Santa Barbara, San Diego, Long Beach, Riverside, San Luis Obispo, Ventura, Orange, Santa Ana, Whittier, Avalon, and Fullerton, in California; Denver, Colo.; El Paso, Tex.; Phoenix, Ariz.; and others. In addition, he was consultant for many irrigation districts throughout the west including San Fernando Valley Irrigation District, Santa Fe Irrigation District, Vista Irrigation District, Lindsay Strathmore Irrigation District, and numerous others.
Lippincott made several trips to the Hawaiian Islands where he was employed by the Oahu Sugar Company in connection with the Waiahole water supply and the construction of the Nuuanu reservoir. He also served as consultant on the Wahiawa Water Company's spillway project and later was employed by the City of Honolulu in connection with its domestic system.
His work also included investigations and a report on the diversion of a large water supply from one watershed to another near Fairbanks, Alaska, for a large hydraulic mining operation.
Lippincott served on many boards of consulting engineers for the federal government, the State of California, and various municipalities. He was a member of a board of engineers on the preparation of the original flood control plans for Los Angeles County in 1915 and later, for a time, was consultant during the construction of this project. His office also prepared plans for flood control and water conservation for Santa Barbara County and Orange County, California. As a member of the consulting board of the State of California, he aided in the development of a state-wide water plan. At the time of his death he was consulting engineer for the International Boundary Commission between the United States and Mexico, as well as consulting engineer for the U.S. Engineer Office, Los Angeles District, on the design and construction of numerous large flood control dams and appurtenant works. He was also a member of the advisory committee on the U.S. Weather Bureau for the National Sciences Advisory Board.
Lippincott died on November 4, 1942, in Arlington, California at the age of 78.

Series 3. Photograph Collection 1891-1929

Series Scope and Contents

The photographs in this series are pasted in albums with Lippincott's handwritten numbers and captions. When this collection was first processed in 1999, processing staff transcribed photograph titles directly from these handwritten captions. The photo album titles were also transcribed from Lippincott's own titles.
Several photograph titles reference outdated geographic names that include racial slurs. UCR Library has chosen to keep and add context to Lippincott's use of harmful language in these titles. The titles reflect the place names in use at the time the photographs were taken. They also give information about how Lippincott organized and annotated his photographs. In 2022, notes on specific photographs were added to the finding aid for further context, including current place names where available. Photographs vary in size.
Further particulars are as follows: "Buttes Dam photographs", one album, undated; "Colorado River trip photographs", one album, dated December 1925; "Henshaw Dam - Escondido Ditch photographs", two albums, photos dated 1922 to 1929; "Klamath Project photographs - California, Oregon", two albums, dated 1906; "J.B. Lippincott photographs", three albums, photos dated 1899 to 1919; "Los Angeles Aqueduct photographs", two albums, photos dated 1906 to 1912; "United States Geological Survey photographs", four albums, photos dated 1895 to 1906; "Miscellaneous photographs", three albums, photos dated 1908 to 1930.
The following notes are used in the listing:
  1. MISSING -refers to a number and/or title for which there is no picture or the complete omission of a sequence of numbers and respective pictures.
  2. NO TITLE -refers to a picture (or pictures) without caption.
  3. NST -refers to a picture (or pictures) which has no separate title but which is placed under a preceding inclusive title.

The materials are dumped from trains consisting of 12 yard, air-dump cars, seen on the right, washed into a central pump by jets of water from 2 1/2 inch nozzles under 60 lbs. pressure, elevated by two 15 inch welded steel pipe lines onto dam. The cars are loaded by means of large type drag line excavator 1445 June 10, 1919

Box 77

General view of outlet at Lockington Dam, looking downstream. The structure is completed except for crosswell. The latter will contain two conduits through its base, and carry a spillway crest on top, 16 feet lower than top of dam. The retaining walls as seen are 78 feet high above the conduit floors, and slope off to match the face of the earth dam. In foreground, hopper and inclined belt used in conveying materials to gravel sashing and screening plant. Dam will be 6400 ft. long; average width at base, 410 ft.; height above valley floor 69 ft.; maximum discharge capacity of outlet conduits (basin full to spillway level) 8,800 sec. ft.; concrete in outlet structures to date 28,223 cubic yards; yardage in earth dam when completed 1,135,000 cubic yards 1446 July 10, 1919

Box 77

Upstream portals of outlet conduits for Englewood Dam. The conduits are 709 feet long, 13 feet wide each, and have a temporary vertical inside diameter of 22 1/2 feet. This gives them a large capacity for handling flood water during construction. After the earthwork is completed the vertical diameter will be reduced to 10 1/2 feet by filling the bottom portion with earth, and placing a concrete floor at the proper elevation. At left, the placing of earth in the portion of the dam east of the Stillwater River, is seen in progress. The cross dike along the river, for controlling the hydraulic fill beyond, is being built up by a dragline excavator, the materials being brought to the site by trains of dump cars. Dam will be 4716 feet long average width at base 739 feet; height above valley floor 110.5 ft.; height of crest above top of concrete outlet conduits 107 ft.; max. discharge capacity (basin full to spillway level) 12,000 sec. ft.; concrete in entire outlet structure 19,000 cu. yds 1451 July 28, 1919

Box 77

Hydraulic giants washing down materials for the Lockington Dam. Various sized nozzles are in use, the largest being 4 inches. At the Lockington Dam and Germantown Dam, the straight hydraulicking process is used, while at the other three dams a combination process requiring the materials to be hauled in from a distance in 12-yard dump cars is required 1452
