Description
Photograph of aerial view of floodplains, showing break in levee, Santa Ana, 1938. In the foreground, several rectangular plains with lines of vegetation can be seen. In the background at center, a wide river can be seen extending into the extreme background at right. Two bridges can be seen extending over different sections of the river. The river has flooded causing some of the water to spill into the adjacent plains along the banks. In the extreme background at left, additional plains can be seen. Photoprint reads: "This photograph is loaned to you. Please return to: Illustrator. L.A. City Planning Dept. Rm.361 F City Hall, Los Angeles, California".
