0008:0746: Boulder City - aerial view: "Boulder City from the air, a recent view taken during 1949, showing Lake Mead and Fortification Mountain in the background. This view shows a look to the northeast up Nevada Highway, Boulder City's main thoroughfare, toward the Bureau of Reclamation building, shown at the upper end of the street. The old water tank at the left and the new one at the right will hold 4,000,000 gallons. Boat docks and yacht harbor are to the left, seven miles down Hemenway Wash, Boulder Dam is to the right of Fortification Mountain, which is beyond the channel of the lake which runs to the right to the dam."
