Abstract:
The quality of this black and white print is moderate; most
of the foreground and background views are in sharp focus.
It was contained on page 9 of George A. Bright's "Wenaha
- Reconnaisance Extensive Report." (9.32 mb) This
historically valuable report describes an extensive reconnaissance
of the Wenaha National Forest conducted in 1913. In addition
to narratives about the natural resources, existing uses,
and management opportunities of the Forest, the report includes
42 black-and-white photographs. A map was included showing
the location where each photograph was taken. [Note: in
a 1994 reprint of this report (see Bright and Powell 1994),
the editor included additional historical photographs of
the Wenaha National Forest in an appendix.] This photograph
was one of two on a page; the caption beneath them was "These
two photographs illustrate the difference between the creek
canyons in the northern and southern parts of the Forest.
Those in the northern part, as in the case of Asotin Creek,
being much steeper and rougher that in the southern part,
where Meacham Creek is a typical example."

of two or three commercially valuable species. Neither is
any part of it too low for the growth of commercial pine
and fir."
