When President Franklin Roosevelt created the Civilian Conservation Corps to create jobs, CCC camps were established all over the country. One such camp was created in 1935 in Stanfield, Oregon and was known as Camp BR-44, or Camp Stanfield. The men from this camp worked on irrigation projects in the area, clearing clearing willows and debris from the Westland Canal, reconstruction the Stanfield Main Canal, putting in riprap and brush along the canals, installing 429 water control structures, repairing pipelines, building 75 miles of access roads, working on the feeder canal to Cold Springs Reservoir. A vegetable garden at the camp was pronounced a model for other CCC camps to follow. The camp closed in June 1938.
