San Francisquito Canyon

[Full View][Closeup]

Photo No. 1 from The Newhall Land and Farming Co.'s March 24, 1928 report on the March 12-13 St. Francis Dam Disaster. (Two separate photos create panorama.) The demarcation between light and dark, running the length of the photo about a third of the way down from the top, shows the water line before the dam broke.

Original caption by Almer M. Newhall reads as follows:

No. 1 The Dam as it now appears from below.

From Plate I.
