Irrigation Canal and the Preacher's Farm, Dead Ox Flat, Malheur County, Oregon, 1939
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a poignant moment in American history. Dorothea Lange, renowned photographer of the Great Depression era, beautifully portrays the rural landscape of this period of development. In this photograph, we see an expansive irrigation canal winding through the countryside. The canal serves as a lifeline for agriculture in Malheur County. Alongside it stands the preacher's farm with its characteristic large haystacks dotting the rustic scenery. Lange's composition not only showcases the beauty of nature but also reflects on economic hardships during that time. The hay bales symbolize both sustenance and struggle for farmers who relied on their crops to survive amidst economic recession. The image is part of Lange's extensive documentation commissioned by government agencies such as Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI). Through her lens, she sought to capture regionalism and rural life across America during these challenging times. This still image from 1939 remains a testament to Lange's ability to convey emotion through photography. It reminds us of our agricultural heritage while shedding light on historical events that shaped our nation. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time at Dead Ox Flat, let us reflect on resilience and hope that emerged from even the harshest circumstances faced by Americans during the Great Depression era.
