Description
Photograph of aerial view of a reservoir, ca.1920. At center, a large reservoir is visible surrounded by hills covered with various vegetation. From the center of the image extending to the lower left corner, a river can be seen winding through the hills. Adjacent to the reservoir and river, trees and bushes are highly visible. Moving further away from the reservoir on either side, hillsides appear more barren. To the right, a winding road can be seen in the barren hillside. In the extreme background, large divided plots of land and small groups of homes can be seen.
