Note(s); Different sources apply various numbering schemes when describing the attempts to dam the Lower Mexican Heading. We have very carefully examined each source and compared it to others and applied the most accurate numbering scheme to date. For a summary of the various attempts that were made to close the heading please read this; Attempts to Dam and Close the Lower Mexican Intake. The Edinger Dam was attempt number 5 at Site number 4, located across the west channel of the Colorado River between the west bank, a couple hundred feet north of the Lower Mexican Heading and Disaster Island, a couple hundred feet south of the tip of the island. One book (Irrigation in Imperial Valley California Its Problems and Possibilities by C. E. Tait - 1908 p. 47) refers to this barrier dam as the Toland Dam, but no other source refers to this name and instead call it the Edinger Dam.
