view taken from an elevated position, looking down on a river (the Rio Grande) as it curves from the center to the left and then to the right; in the distance is a large dam. At least two large fisheries ponds/pool are visible to the right of the river. Visible in the center distance (before the dam) is several hatchery buildings, nestled amongst a group of trees.
