Description
Photograph of an aerial view of the Big Dalton Dam, ca.1920. Rounded mountains blanketed in dark forestry incline towards center where the lightly-colored dam contains the small, awkward body of shimmering water. A thin toad can be seen curving along the mountainside on the left all the way around the edge of the water creating a thin outline in the dark trees. Several more roads intertwine in a cluster in front of the dam.
