Cookman Collection #1

December 10, 1938

This view is looking back south at a low spot in the road leading from the community of Matanuska. Overflow from the Knik River and water of Spring Creek is flooding the road with considerable ice formed on the roadway. The elevated railroad trestle running parallel to the road is evident at left and the railroad water tower is visible beyond. Leafless cottonwood and willow trees and brush are apparent at right and at middle ground. Mountains are visible in background.
