Image is looking across the Matanuska River at the bank location of the north end of the steel bridge across the river to be constructed in 1934. A high rock face is partially visible at left with lower rock exposure at the construction site. A wooden tower is visible at right that appears to anchor a cross-river cable. Heavy forest cover forms the near middle ground with river water and gravel bar in foreground.
