The original use of these slides is unknown, but since they are all water-related, they were likely part of Los Angeles Department of Water and Power presentation packet. The Kodachrome box in which they came has a note referring to other slides (not included) from 1958. The slides themselves are not in a Kodak frame. 2009 - the Year of Valley History
