Cookman Collection #1

April 1934

This is a broad view of the work area around construction of the Peters Creek bridge. The mostly complete bridge, located in left middle ground, awaits installation of the approaches. The foreground exhibits considerable tree clearing and ground disturbance. A pile of medium-sized rocks is visible at far right, possibly for use as armor around the bridge cribbing. Atop the rock pile is a section of bridge decking, perhaps to be moved into place as part of the bridge approach. At right of the bridge three tents are visible as part of the construction camp, and beyond is a steep cut-over slope in middle ground. Trees are visible on the flat above the slope and a snow-striped mountain is at right in background.
