Description
Photograph of a view of the Owens River and Los Angeles Aqueduct, ca.1913. The calm river winds from the foreground towards the left with mounds of tall grass on the banks on either side. The bank in the background forms a small wall above the water with short bushes at its top that extend to the dusty mountains in the background.
