Description

Photograph of an aerial view of the Sawpit Dam, ca.1920. Thin roads and trails cut through the layer of dark trees that covers the curving hills which surround the dam at center. The tall, lightly-colored dam appears to bow slightly outward towards the thin body of water behind it. Several small structures can barely be seen along the left edge of the water just beyond the dam.
