The lake can be seen in the foreground at left, while a large concrete dam runs from the foreground at right towards the background at left. Wooden scaffolding can be seen along the front of the dam, and more construction is taking place in the background. A set of railroad tracks runs along the top of the dam. In the background, tree-covered hills are visible.
