Cookman Collection #2

July 3, 1936

A muddy riverbank occupies the foreground of this scene. Pilings of a Shear Dam begin in near middle ground at left and proceed into the river water in a line across the image to the right. The far section of the structure still contains brush but the near section has been washed clear and some of the pilings appear to be missing. The far forested riverbank appears to parallel the dam in middle ground.
