Cookman Collection #2

July 3, 1936

This is an oblique view from the land out along what appears to be the north side of Shear Dam #1. A short log and a stack of heavy planks lie in immediate foreground. Three men stand atop the dam in middle ground. At left, near middle ground, the top of the cat tractor is partially visible on the far side of the dam with a man standing on it. River water is obvious in foreground and beyond to the background. Forested land is visible on the far side of the river in background.
