Description
This photo of 8th and Maple Streets was most likely taken on or shortly after March 18, 1918. The San Jacinto River flood ripped out the Citizen’s Water Company Dam near Hemet and as a result Beaumont, Lakeview, Nuevo, and Perris Valley all flooded. Extensive damages to rail lines between the communities of Ethnic and Winchester. Agriculture loses in this area were high.
