This website application allows you to search the MCD archives of photographs taken between 1915 and 1932 during the original construction of MCD’s flood control system. The photograph database may be searched by using one of the following criteria methods.

 

Photo Number: If you have a number from a photo – use this field.  Example: 2488, or 0001. (Each photograph is identified by a job number followed by a sequential number – 53-2488. For the photo number field please use the sequential number.)

 

Location:  This field provides a drop down list of job numbers and their associated geographical location, or railroad line. Example: Job #1003-B&O at Taylorsville. You may also search for pre-construction photos based on location. Example: Job #4 Pre-construction-Taylorsville.

 

Date Taken: Use this field for narrowing your search for a specific time frame between 1915 and 1932.

 

Description: This field allows you to search on many various descriptions – Example: Entering the word Pre-construction will list all photographs taken prior to the construction of the flood control system.

 

The photographs may be downloaded and used; however, we do require you to provide credit to the source of the photographs as the Miami Conservancy District.

 

 

There are some real finds in this if one looks deep enough.
