This 1938 mural depicts Spanish padres guiding Indians in the construction of the dam near the San Diego Mission. Colors are subdued.


It was originally located at the Roosevelt Junior High School, San Diego, in the auditorium to the left of the stage. The building was demolished in 1975 and the mural saved. This is from a photograph taken by Nicole Shibata on 09/21/2007.
