Description
Photograph of an aerial view of flooding near the San Gabriel River and the fork of the Rio Hondo River, ca.1930. The city is divided into squares which continue into the background where the two rivers run on either side. Thin streams of excess water can be seen spilling from the wide rivers into the city's edges. A faint mountainside can be seen in the background.
