Atchison, KS Flood 3/15/1919 (6K x 5K high res)

This intersection still exists, but the river has been routed underground and all buildings visible here have demolished, excepting the Blair Milling building. The detail in this image suggests it was printed from a large negative, common at the time. The offensive product name disappeared long ago.

Notations:
4th St. Bridge High Water over banister
4th & Main Streets looking south
White Clay Creek Flood March 15, 1919, Atchison, KS.
