Photograph of Huntington Lake, reservoir of the Southern California Edison Co., November 1931. In the extreme foreground at right, a large thick trunk can be seen extending to the top of the image. A similar trunk is visible nearby to the left amid wild vegetation and a small boulder. Both of these trees can be seen growing on a small mountain slope with other similar trees further in the background at left. To the right in the extreme background, a large open lake can be seen. Small mountain ranges are visible surrounding the lake on the left side. The lake extends further to the right, but is obscured by the mountain slope and trees in the extreme foreground.; Caption on the side of the image reads: "Huntington Lake Reservoir of the Southern California Edison Co. Capacity 89,000 acre feet. The Lake five miles long and a mile wide, at an elevation of 6,950 feet, is a favorable recreation place of Californians".
