Kettle Falls (Salish: Shonitkwu, meaning "roaring or noisy waters") was an ancient and important salmon fishing site on the upper reaches of the Columbia River, in what is today the U.S. state of Washington.
The falls were inundated in 1940 by the building of Grand Coulee Dam. This very early photo was taken in 1860 by a member of the British Corps of Royal Engineers, who were engaged in surveying the boundary between the U.S. and the British territory that would become Canada.
