Description
Photograph of California Edison Company dam on Huntington Lake in Fresno, ca.1930. The thick concrete walls of the dam start in the right foreground and extend into the center where they curve to the right in the background. The first half of the wall contains a walking platform with fences lining each side. The back half of the wall narrows out and one can see the gradation of steps along the right side of the wall. On the right side of the dam, a hillside can be seen slanting down while a tree covered mountain sits above it. TO the left of the dame, a body of water sits in front of mountains covered in coniferous trees.
