The Cochrane Dam, as seen in GTA III.

The Cochrane Dam is a large hydroelectric dam located in the northwest corner of Shoreside Vale in Liberty City. It can be seen in Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.

The dam is one of Shoreside Vale's most recognisable landmarks. A road runs along the top of the dam, linking the two halves of Shoreside Vale, two towers are connected to the top of the dam via walkways, and the lower section of the dam includes the generator building and several shipping containers. The lower section is accessible via a one-land track.

In Grand Theft Auto III, the dam features prominently in the final story mission The Exchange, in which the protagonist, Claude, kills dozens of Colombian Cartel gang members and their leader Catalina in a showdown on the lower level of the dam.

Trivia

  • The dam was named after Adam Cochrane, who worked as a 3D artist during the production of Grand Theft Auto III.
