Reeves Dam
From Smallville Wiki
Reeves Dam is a man-made dam in Kansas, which appears be located near Smallville. Smallville has its own dam (Smallville Dam) which holds back Morley Reservoir.
[edit] Appearances
Reeves Dam was the location for several important scenes in Season Six and Seven.
- Kara Kent's ship crash landed in Reeves Dam during the first meteor shower.
- There was a 33.1 facility inside of the Reeves Dam. Lex Luthor used the facilities to store a clone of Lana Lang called Model 503.
- Lex Luthor was trapped with Clark Kent in a series of underground tunnels that led to Reeves Dam.
- The phantom wraith who becomes Bizarro first encountered Clark Kent at Reeves Dam. Once he created a physical body by taking a copy of Clark's DNA, Bizarro and Clark fought inside of the dam - eventually destroying it.
- Kara was in suspended animation inside of the lake in front of the dam for 18 years, until it was destroyed in the fight between Bizarro and Clark Kent.
- Before Wes Keenan died, he gave Lois Lane some numbers which turned out to be the latitude and longitude coordinates for Reeves Dam. When Lois arrived at the dam, she was confronted by a guard who stabbed her in the stomach. She called Chloe before she passed out, who came to Reeves Dam and used her meteor power to heal Lois.
[edit] Notes
- The name Reeves Dam is a reference to two former Superman actors, Christopher Reeve and George Reeves, stars of the first four Superman movies and Adventures of Superman TV Show respectively.
- It has never been definitely established on the show whether the dam is named Reeve Dam or Reeves Dam. The only official spelling is from the CW promotional materials for the episode Phantom, which references a "Reeves Dam". [1]
- The setting for Reeves Dam is at Ruskin Dam in Mission, British Columbia. [citation needed] However when the satellite is zooming in onto Kansas, the image is of the dam infront of the Marion reservoir.
- Reeves Dam is located at coordinates, as Lois Lane discovers, at 38°52' N, 95°32'W. This location in real life is in the extreme northeastern corner in Osage County, Kansas.
