Photograph of Palm Canyon, showing stream in extreme foreground, [s.d.]. In the extreme foreground, a small stream can be seen on the left extending to the far background. To the right of the stream, bits of small rock and dirt are visible. At center, the stream passes along steep embankments on both the left and the right. Along each of the embankments, large palm trees can be seen. Many of the palm trees have large, open palm branches extending from their tops, but others have not yet bloomed fully. In the extreme background, rows of palm trees can be seen lined in front of large mountains. Photo sleeve reports: "Copied April 1930".
