Cutting Work of the New River 



This photograph shows how the Mexican town called Mexicala was partly destroyed by the New 



River cutting into the town at this point 



Cut and washed banks in the big bend of the New River, 5 miles northwest of the town of Imperial, 



California. These banks are from 60 to So feet in height and are constantly caving into the river 



bed and washing away, consequently widening the river and cutting back onto the farm lands
