Description

A CWA project in March 1934 rebuilt an irrigation ditch to go around the Riverdale High School athletic field. $2,937.05 was the amount provided for the project as part of the employment of 262 men that month in Fresno County.

When this researcher visited the site last month, it appeared to have be recently filled in, even though it is still listed on Google Maps.
