Description
Photograph of a road at the Colorado River Ferry, near Hoover Dam, ca.1933. The darkly-colored automobile drives along the gravel road on the right. To the left of the road lies plant-speckled, desert terrain blanketed in fragmented rocks. To the right the land slopes up to form dark hills which continue along the right side of the road as it extends into the background and curves out of site to the left. "This road leads to Kingham, Arizona".
