Photographs of southwestern states

Photographs created by G. Owen Bonawit that document locations in southwestern states, primarily Arizona and California, 1944-1961. Images along the Colorado River between Arizona and California include many images of the Parker Dam that depict the dam, substations, transmission lines, and men working on turbines, while additional images along the river include a view of big horn sheep by another photographer, Howard Fink. Images of Arizona include views in the Salt River Valley in the vicinity of Phoenix, the Naval Air Facility in Litchfield Park, and the operations of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company. Several photographic prints of the same image depicts an abandoned ranch in New Mexico

Images in the collection unrelated to southwestern states include views of locations in New York City, New York, consisting of artifacts at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and stained glass windows created by Bonawit at the Carmelite Monastery in Brooklyn
