Pickens Channel construction at junction with Verdugo Channel, September 1935

At center, a wide canal being constructed in dirt can be seen. The floor of the canal is leveled and smooth.

In the background at center, a truck sits in the center of the canal beside a large crane. A group of at least eight men are visible near the crane. Two additional men can be seen near a pile of wooden planks and beams in the foreground.
