Salt River Near Roosevelt (09498500), April 22, 1937

In this upstream view, the Salt River is flowing at 4,000 ft3/s.
The long-term gaging station in this reach is associated with the bridge in
the distance, and a diversion dam is present just downstream from this camera
station. Two months before this photograph was taken, the brush-covered island
at right center was submerged during a February flood; most floods on the
Salt River occur during the winter months. This camera station is several
miles upstream from the top of Roosevelt Lake, the first of the major flood
control and water supply structures on the Salt River upstream from Phoenix.
