View is to the north from the Moorhead Manufacturing Company's Flour Mill on the Moorhead side of the river just south of the Main Ave bridge. The Main Ave bridge is visible in the foreground as is the Northern Pacific Railway Bridge weighed down with locomotives and box cars to keep the bridge from washing away. In the distance at left can be seen steam tractors parked on the North Bridge weighing it down. These tactics worked as no bridges were lost during the flood.
View is to the north from the Northern Pacific Railway bridge. The U.S. Government dredge "Unser Fritz" is moored in the middle of the Red River. Mud scows float just beyond. In the distance the Alsop Line's steamboat "Pluck" and two barges are tied up to the Fargo, Dakota Territory river bank just below the Grandin Line's grain elevator A. In the far distance is Fargo's Union Elevator. In the foreground at left can be seen a temporary wagon bridge; in the distance at right is Moorhead's Point neighborhood.
