Photo No. 15 from The Newhall Land and Farming Co.'s March 24, 1928 report
on the March 12-13 St. Francis Dam Disaster.
Wrecked autos belonging to some of the c. 150 men who perished at the
Southern California Edison Co. Construction Camp just west of the Los Angeles-Ventura
county line. According to the text,
"you will notice these automobiles scattered all over the entire field
and at the left a stream crane being used to right some of them.
An interesting point is that while the automobile bodies,
machinery and tops were very seriously damaged, we did not see a
single instance where one of the tires was broken."
