Description
Photograph of an overflowing drainage ditch caused by flooding, 1938. Pieces of a building have sunk into the muck of the flooded foreground. What appears to be a cylindrical tank lies in the water at left. A low hill inclines to the still-standing trees at center. Electrical poles, some broken, stand behind the trees while large buildings stand along the street behind them. Mountains stand in the background.
