Description
Photograph of Hoover Dam, ca.1940. Two framed tunnels allow water into the jagged canyon walls on either side in the foreground while the majority of the water flows against the dam on the left. Two concrete buildings stand at the base of the canyon walls with the tall, lightly-colored dam standing behind them. The faint mountainside stands in the background behind the dam.
