Description:
Photograph of Floodwaters from the Little deep Fork Creek inundated many hundreds of acres of productive bottomlands and much damage was done to growing crops--wheat, oats, alfalfa--about ready for harvest. Damage to country roads and bridges exceeded $100,000. One bridge, 115 feet long, will cost $18,000 to replace another 88 foot bridge will cost $12,000. Levees 8' high were destroyed by the record breaking flood. OK-706-2.
