Photograph of Charles Hildebrand, WUC, SCS, and Mr. Haden man standing in and near a terrace outlet channel protected with concrete structures. People shown in photo go as followed from left to right: 1. Charles Hildebrand, 2. J. B. Haden. The back of the photograph proclaims, "Terrace outlet channel protected with concrete structures. The drainage from 35 acres of terraced land drains through this channel. These structures were installed by Mr. Haden, who appears on right, in 1924 at a cost of approximately $40 per structure. There are 7 structures in the channel. They have worked very satisfactorily but have required some maintenance work. The structure has a 5 ft. notch and 18 inch drop. The structures were installed without technical assistance. Mr. Haden has 4 sodded waterways on his farms and has found vegetation cheaper to install and easier to maintain that the structure type channel. Charles Hildebrand, WUC, SCS, appears in the photo."
