Flood damage to Interstate 25/Highway 85 near East Plum Creek and Wolfensberger Road. The southbound road bed is broken and washed out. The view is toward the north, with Douglas County High School visible in the distance on the east side of the Interstate. Debris is mostly cleared from the road, which is one lane and covered with mud. The on-ramp from Wilcox street is washed out. The damage occurred as the result of the June 1965 flood of East Plum Creek.
