Photo No. 3 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 halfway between top and bottom, shows the water line before the dam broke.
