In the 1930s, U.S. Forest Service researchers, including F.G. Renner, A.L. Hormay and M.W. Talbot, compiled an extensive archive of rangeland photographs, primarily around Californias San Joaquin Valley.
Fred Renner (bw photo) was photographed in the White River Cemetery in Tulare County on October 29, 1932. Rancher, John Guthrie (color) was photographed in approximately the same position as Renner in 2011. Note that little has changed. Same fence and same oak trees in the background.
In September 1932a tropical cyclone tracked north northwestward across the Gulf of California. The remnants generated rainfall of up to 7 inches in the mountains and deserts of southern California over a 4 day period ending on October 1st. Rainfall of 4.
During the first week of October 1932 torrential rains resulted in severe erosion and flash floods in the vicinity of Bakersfield and Tehachapi, California. In 1934 M.W. Talbot photographed this hillside erosion about 4 miles South of Tehachapi on the Tehachapi-Willow Springs Road.
