Its title, written on the negative as "Salt River Project, Arryona," points to the irrigation works that transformed the Salt River Valley in central Arizona Territory, a region that depended on reclaimed desert water. The date is an estimate from the range of neighboring negatives in the National Photo Company collection, which made many views of western towns and landscapes in the 1910s. The glass plate also shows streaks and blemishes from the gradual breakdown of its original coating, a common trait of negatives from this period.
