Mahan, Max
This watery dividing line between Arizona and California spans the card from side to side, with mountains near the other shore. The description on the back reads: "Golden Tamarisk (commonly known as salt cedar) line the banks of the river. The richness of color and the beauty of the desert mountains is never to be forgotten. Easily accessible from Los Angeles or Phoenix. Fishermen, hunters and those who merely wish to rest flock to this section. Immediate access is either through Parker, Arizona, Earp, Blythe or Needles, California." The divided back gives credit to the photographer.
