Description
Photograph of water pouring over the Sweetwater Dam, San Diego, ca.1907. The dam fills much of the image, while water pours over it down towards a small stone utility shack at the bottom, which seems to be in peril. Hills covered in scrub vegetation can be seen in the right background. Some of the photo appears to have been retouched with paint.
