This image shows a portion of Eklutna Village, featuring a rather large cache at center of a cleared field in foreground. The cache is built of wooden planks and slabs and set on four vertical posts rising about seven feet above the ground. A four-rung ladder leans against the end wall below the door. A small log cabin and outbuilding are visible in middle ground at extreme left. Another log building is partially visible directly behind the cache and a small log structure is apparent next to the middle ground tree line to the right of the cache. The roof peak of another house is visible back in the trees at right and a rather unique structure is partially visible at extreme right in middle ground. Its walls appear to be constructed of wide heavy planks with notched joints at the corners. Lying on the roof are several sets of what appear to be long bones of some unknown critter. A line of leafless cottonwood trees crosses the image from left to right in middle ground. Nearby mountains are visible beyond through the trees.
