Title
Stone Ditch, Built by the Indians Over 130 Years Ago, Ventura, Cal
Description
Landscape image of a heavily weathered cobblestone retaining wall for an aqueduct. A figure stands atop some of the stones, in front of a horse dressed in a work harness for pulling. There is a path cut through the wall, as if for a road. A large oak tree is in the foreground to the left, with a hillside and more oaks in the background.
Caption: "Stone Ditch, Built by the Indians over 130 years ago Vertura (sic), Cal. 854."
Verso text: Handwritten in pencil, "Remains of Mission ducts in Cañada Larga, taken about 1930 perhaps."
