Description
Photograph of an aerial view of the reservoir above the San Gabriel Dam Number One, ca.1920.The smooth water shimmers in the sunlight as it lies awkwardly on the right at the bottom of the surrounding hills. The low standing hills have curving tops and dimples in the tree-covered sides. A thin road runs across the top of a hill in the foreground while another small road winds against the hills on the water's right edge into the background.
