Description
Photograph of a bridge over the Colorado River, showing an industrial yard in the foreground in Yuma, Arizona, [s.d.]. A dirt hill stands in the foreground on the right with sharp boulders imbedded in its side and short, thin bushes hanging over the river from the foot of the hill on the left. Thin trees with few leaves line the river's right bank at center with several wooden structures standing in the dusty industrial yard behind them. Plants are bound together and piled in stacks among the short structures on the right and animals appear to be in pens behind them. Just beyond the pens, several people stand along the bridge which extends over the shimmering river to the dusty hills on the left. Several structures stand on the left bank with a thick forest extending into the distance behind them.
