Original 1947 AP Wire Photo dated June 4 showing an aerial view of severe flash flooding near Rutland, Vermont. According to the caption, roads in the vicinity of Pittsford Mills were buried under water after flooding caused an estimated $2 million in damage throughout the Rutland area. The view looks south toward Proctor and shows large stretches of submerged farmland, roads, and low-lying terrain. The caption is separate from the photograph, and both are mounted on the same piece of black archival paper. Measures approximately 6½ x 6¼ inches. From the archive of a Pittsburgh-area newspaper.
