Description
Photograph of a crew doing road construction in a mountainous area, [s.d.]. Short, dry bushes sit in the dust in the foreground on the left while men work in a line on the raised road at center. The road winds from the foreground on the right, across the center where a brush-covered hill makes up its right side, to the left where it curves towards the mountains in the background. The men appear to be digging along the hill side of the road while large, cylindrical piping lies on the far left. Electrical poles stand on the hill above them.
