Transcribed Notes: Transcribed from handwritten inscription by D. Hancock on back of postcard: "This shows some of the excavators at work at the Buried City or 'Lost City' as it is sometimes called. This is near St. Thomas if you wish to look up its approximate location on the map. It was here I went last Spring on one of my trips."
A construction site at the base of the Hoover Dam. A label at the bottom of the photo: "Circa 1930's. Construction trucks rumble through the soggy bed of the Colorado River, diverted around the dam site by concrete tunnels to clear the area for the base of the dam."
