Ryan Dam is built on the largest of the great falls, about 10 miles south east of Great Falls. The Volta Dam's name was changed to the Ryan Dam in honor of John D. Ryan, former President of Anaconda Copper Company. Ryan first recognized the potential for electricity, for both industry and home use, and combined several existing electrical companies to create Montana Power.
