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." Original caption by Almer M. Newhall reads as follows:
