Notes
Newspaper clip on back reads: "This was a typical street scene in Eldorado Springs Saturday. Huge boulders, together with large timber that was uprooted, cluttered up the streets that lined the banks of South Boulder creek. Telephone and electric light poles were snapped at their bases. The village was without electricity within ten minutes after the twenty-foot wall of water hit the town."; Title hand-written on back of photoprint.; R7100081578
