Description

Start To Raise Levees . . . on North Eighth street at Big Lake. The large machines must plow through gummy mud to dump their loads. This picture was taken from the bluff east of the levee. In the distance, water is pushing against the level from the North Western railroad track to the Missouri River channel.
