Cookman Collection #2

July 3, 1936

River water occupies most of the foreground and middle ground with shoreside trees covering the far right side. Some trees have been cut and are fallen into the water in near foreground. The completed Shear Dam #1 is apparent in middle ground in this view from down river extending from the shore at right out into the river. A thin strip of forested land is visible on the far shore in background. A man faintly appears to be standing on the structure.
