View is to the west from the Moorhead side of the Red River. About 16 children stand on Moorhead bank at left and wade in the river. Tree foliage indicates this was a summer rain flood.
View is to the northwest on 4th Street South from about 7th Avenue. In the foreground Adolph Bowman and Molly Otto sit in a row boat on a flooded coulee. Beyond a man sits on the railing of a flooded bridge which normally crosses the coulee. In the middle distance beyond the row boat stands the Ole M. Martinson house, now home to the Rourke Art Gallery 523 4th Street South.
View is to the southwest from Main Avenue and 3rd Street South. Scene shows the flooded Woodlawn Park neighborhood. In the foreground is the Dudrey Brothers' Cooperage with the black smoke chimney. The Moorhead Municipal Water and Light plant smokestack is in the far distance. A small house in the foreground at right is cabled to a tree to keep it from washing away.
A woman and three small children sit in a row boat tied up to a picket fence on a flooded Moorhead street, probably in the Woodlawn Park neighborhood. Fooded homes line the far side of the street.
View is to the west from 4th Street South toward the Ole M. Martinson House, home to the Rourke Art Gallery at 523 South 4th Street. Visitors sit in three row boats and stand on the sidewalk on 4th Street.
