Description:: A dirt road stretches along the bottom edge of the image. Behind it, a large pit sinks into the ground at center. Piles of lumber (center) and metal beams (right) sit in front of it. Scaffolding is visible within the pit. To the far left, the power plant's penstocks sit and extend below the ground. To the right of the pit, the 2 generators sit atop their original bases. Beyond the pit, three small buildings stand in a row at the foot of the canyon wall. To the far right, a sawmill stands. The canyon wall stretches across the background. The water line of the St. Francis Dam disaster's flood waters is visible stretching across the canyon wall.
