Indian Ford Dam

View across water on a sunny day, where many anglers are fishing below the Indian Ford dam and bridge on the Rock river. Some of the men are fishing from the exposed rocks near the dam, and some men are in canoes and rowboats downstream. A Sinclair service station is on the far shoreline, and automobiles are parked near Drew's Resort.
