I've been looking at old photos recently and found some with good annotations on them. I've seen the following photos before, but there was never an indication of date and location.
I've learned these were taken during a flood in 1935 at Dam #2, or Coburn's Dam as we referred to it. (It's located at the end of Oyster Creek Drive.) It was a reliable place to find fishing minnows, especially 'red horses,' which were prized bait.
Here's a Google map showing the location today - note the red rectangle.
I think the first photo was taken with the camera pointed southeast. The water is rushing 'down stream' toward Stafford.

This next photo was taken looking southwest toward the location of the Fluor complex.
