Description

As the crest passed the Dodge Riverside pumping station here early Tuesday and hundreds of workers who had toiled around the clock went home for rest, two lone patrolmen of the Iowa State Guard are shown as they meet at the junction of their patrol atop the levee. The photo was taken at 7 a.m. Tuesday, after the river had dropped 0.07 of an inch from the crest of 22.45 at 2 a.m.
