This photograph shows the Deer River can be seen at the Moore farm. The water levels are rising up the river banks. The speed of the water is also visible as the river eddies and splash down the river.

This photograph shows an unfortunate scene of a log cabin that is half submerged in the river water. The cabin contents are likely to be saturated beyond use. The birch and spruce trees in the photo are also flooded half way up their trucks.

In this photograph the water levels are rising up to the fields of the McAmmond Farm. The water is almost at the doorstep of the cabins sitting behind a fence.

This photograph is of the same area as the previous photograph. The water level is really close the porch of the cabin. Beside the log cabin it can been seen that a shed of some sort is almost totally submerged in the river.

The Magnetawan River shown in this photograph and is overflowing to the point were trees are almost completely submerged.

On the left side of the photograph, the river is framed by a thick tree-line.
