Description

Photograph of Boulder Canyon and Lake Meade, showing homes and automobiles on the sandy bank, ca.1935. Skeletal bushes and small, jagged rocks blanket the foreground with a bank of smooth, tree-spotted sand along the water's edge behind them. Several automobiles are scattered in the plot of sand while two small, wooden structures stand on the right. Trees line the both banks of the lake as it winds from right, curves on the left, and flows out of view in the background on the right. Grassy hills stand on either side of the water in the background.
