Description
Photograph of six men posing on a large piece of machinery that may be used for flood control, ca.1910. At center is a large piece of machinery that forms an "X" shape. Three men are visible sitting on top of the "X", while three men are visible standing on top. Most of the men are visible wearing long-sleeved shirts, overalls, and caps. A large, house-like structure is visible in the background, with vertical metal poles jutting from it. The ground is composed of dirt and dead plants, while water is visible near the structure. Bare trees are visible in the background.
