Title	Levee Erosion along the American River
Date	1980
Creator	Eugene Brill
Description	This circa 1980 photograph shows an example of levee erosion along the north bank of the American River, near the confluence of the American and Sacramento Rivers. A series of dislodged trees and protruding roots hang angled over the River. Long an issue in the Sacramento Area, the American River Flood District was established in 1927, after floods inundated much of the North Sacramento area. Its charge is 44 miles of levee along the American River, the Natomas East Main Drain, Arcade Creek, and two other creeks.
