Description

Photograph of aerial view of an unidentified reservoir showing the front side of a dam, ca.1920. At center, a large reservoir can be seen completely surrounded by hillsides full of various vegetation. The high water level is stopped by a large dam positioned at a narrow point between the surrounding mountain ranges. To the right of the frontal dam wall, a large slanted attachment extends from the base of the dam to the top of its wall. A small moving river is visible at the base of the dam, and it can be seen curving along the large mountain range to the upper-left portion of the image. To the far left of the reservoir, a single winding road can be seen among the many mountain ranges and hills full of rich vegetation.
