Description
Photograph of the flooded Los Angeles River cutting a channel southwest toward Wilmington along the Southern Pacific Railroad, January 18-26, 1916. Water flows over a cascade of small, muddy lumps, cutting deeper as they make their way into the distance. Dry land can be seen to the right. An earlier record identifies this scene as being one half-mile south of Bangle home. Photoprint reads: "Harry Merrick Photography. 1901 W. Anaheim -- Long Beach, Calif. Phone Hemlock 6-3291".
