1966 Press Photo Second Street-Butler Street View where water starts to recede

The Ohio River waters were starting to recede after this picture was taken of the Second Street-Butler Street intersection of Marietta, looking south toward the Williamstown, W. Marietta bridge over the river. It's a familiar sight to local residents during times of high water and looked upon as a nuisance rather than a real flood threat. The swollen Ohio River crested in Marietta Tuesday night.
