Description

Photograph of a close-up of the Zanja Madre, the main irrigation ditch in Riverside, 1903. The still water of the ditch -- which might be the lower canal through White Park -- is framed by banks covered with foliage that ranges from tall trees to flowering bushes. The ditch is crossed by a wooden footbridge. In the back right corner of the picture, there is a house, the front of which is mostly obscured by a large, wide tree. The water reflects the plants that surround it. An earlier record reads "made the City of Riverside".
