Information

Date

1929

Description

Black and white image of the view from the Arizona side looking toward Callvilles (out of view, but in the grove of cottonwoods in the distance). It must be remembered that in those days the river was mostly silt, sand and during flood times huge rocks. Government engineers estimated that the Colorado River carried to the Gulf of California 94,000,000 tons of silt and rocks every 24 hours.
