From the Historic American Engineering Record's survey of Twin Rock Irrigation Ditch. The photographer's own caption is the title above.

Shows: Twin Rock Irrigation Ditch as the survey found it, in the frame the survey chose.

What this does not let you conclude: The structure's present condition, or how much water it carries today; the record beside it carries the numbers. HAER surveyed what was standing, not what was decreed. HAER's compilation date; the photograph itself is undated in the record.
