Description
Photograph of an aerial view of a flooded area near Santa Ana at the Seventeenth Street bridge, 1938. From left to right, the river is shown flooding past its banks onto the surrounding agricultural fields. At center, the bridge is visible spanning the river, but appears narrow and stressed by the torrent. An earlier record reads "Please return to: Illustrator. L.A. City Planning Dept. Rm.361 F City Hall, Los Angeles, California".
