The image titled "Belmont Street Flood" depicts a flooded street where people are navigating the waters using makeshift rafts and a boat. There are several multi-story wooden buildings lining the street, and a gas streetlamp is visible. The individuals, dressed in period clothing, appear to be using oars to propel their crafts, and some are standing on the steps of the buildings.
