Cookman Collection #2

June 30, 1936

This image looks upriver showing water over most of the foreground, heavy forest on the right riverbank, and a partially destroyed shear dam crossing the image in near middle ground. Most of the pilings appear to remain but much of the logs and brush contained between then appear to have been washed away, especially near shore at right. Shear Dam #1 is visible protruding from the right bank in far middle ground.
