View of Robinson’s Ferry landing at the Stanislaus River in Melones, ca 1930
Photograph of a view of Robinson’s Ferry landing at the Stanislaus River in Melones, ca.1930. A wooden bridge extends from the dirt bank in the foreground to the other side of the riverbed. At the edge of the plank in center a staircase leads down to the ground through a wooden frame. At the bottom of the stairs there is a small trail of sunshine that is allowed through the shade that the tall trees on the right provide. A bend of the river can be seen on the left with banks of dirt and weeds. A hillside covered in trees and bushes can be seen in the background. “Ferry began operation in 1849 but is no longer used as the river has changed its course and a bridge has been built”.
