Description
Visible is the meandering Tuolumne River from which the town of Waterford derived its name. A well known ford (a place where a river is shallow enough to cross by wading) on the Tuolumne River was used by people on their way to look for gold in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. In this photograph a train is on the near side of a tressel (bridge) that spans the river close to the original ford. On the far right of the river is a primary irrigation canal with water flowing from the Don Pedro Dam to the Stanislaus region of California's Central Valley.
