Description
Photograph of a dredger at work in first twenty miles of aqueduct, Owens Valley, Los Angeles Aqueduct construction, [s.d.]. A small, lightly-colored shed sits in a pool of water at center with six men standing on its roof. What appear to be cranes stand behind them, reaching over the land at right. Piles of dirt are collected on either side of the water while scrub brush spots the field in the background. Mountains stand in the distance.
