Description
Photograph of an aerial view of flooding near Colton, showing water flooding roads, ca.1930. What appears to be a main road can be seen at center with bodies of water at either end. One flows over the road in the foreground on the left and drowns the trees on the road's edge. The second puddles near smaller roads in the background on the right while the city appears to be unharmed on the far left.
