B & W digital scan of Cottonwood Creek Flume crossing the LA Aqueduct. Looking south toward Olancha. "Much has been done to provide for the safe delivery of the water from these side streams over and into the Aqueduct, and to prevent the overtopping of the walss bvy any sudden rise in the water level in the Aqueduct itself. At Cottonwood Creek an arch crossing for flood waters was built, and weirs were constructed so that this large creek can either be taken into the Aqueduct or passed on down the stream channel. Precautions have been taken for the eliminating the sand and gravel from the water before it enters the ditch. Just south of this structure a standard waste-way was constructed, which permits the turning all the water from the Aqueduct into the channel of the Cottonwood Creek, if desired.Collection
