Water Conservation; Water Erosion; Flooding and Prevention

Photograph of stream bank cutting. Temporary stream bank erosion control measure. The bridge is located in a bend in the river and each time the water rises some more bank is eaten away near the end of the bridge. These trees are held in place by a cable and keep the water away from the raw bank of the river. The section of the bank from the man in the photo to the present location of the bank was eroded away in one year. OK-89-1.

Farm is bounded by the road in the foreground & by the railroad & highway in the background, railroad can be identified by telegraph poles. The terraces & grain strips where terraces will be constructed empty into pasture strip in immediate foreground. Strips in background empty into lovegrass channel parallel with railroad which empties into pasture strip coming down from railroad & joining into pasture in left center.
