The vast expanse of the Tulare Lake Bed dominates this mid-1930s landscape, illustrating the massive hydrological engineering required to reclaim this part of the Central Valley for agriculture. In an era when the seasonal lake still dictated the region's geography, a complex network of structures like the Lovelace Levee, Goldberg Levee, and Cohn Levee worked to channel the flows of the Kings River and Tule River.
