Cleator, F. W. 1930. Looking south into Mottet Valley from a road near Bone Springs Mountain. 247992. U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Umatilla National Forest. Locality: [T. 5 N., R. 39 E., sec. 28]. Size: 4" x 6½". July 1930.
Abstract: This is a black-and-white photograph of high quality; the image is in sharp focus throughout. Not much information is associated with this photograph. It shows an early Forest Service pickup (looks like a converted car from the 1930s) with something in the back covered with a canvas tarp. There is a Forest Service shield logo on the driver's side just in front of the front door. A Forest Service Ranger is leaning on the passenger side of the vehicle and looking off into the distance (presumably into the Mottet Valley according to the annotations). A vigorous, pole-sized grand fir tree is just to the left of the person. Most of the close middleground scene is comprised of an open area, with snowbrush ceanothus and bracken fern clearly distinguished in the plant community. The far middleground area is dominated by a dense, fairly young conifer forest consisting of western larch, Engelmann spruce, grand fir, and subalpine fir. The background view shows rows of long, continuous ridges, most of which support forest cover. One area of the background has what appears to be a timber harvest unit or an old burn.

Cleator, F.W. July 1930. Table Rock and lookout cabin from road to south. 247999. USDA, Forest Service, Umatilla National Forest, Walla Walla RD. Size: 6 1/2 x 4.
Abstract: This is a black-and-white photograph of generally poor quality; the focus appears to be sharp, but contrast problems and blotchy areas are common throughout the image, possibly caused by deterioration of this particular print through time. The caption associated with this accession is "Table Rock and Lookout Cabin from road to south. Typical of summit saddles through which road threads its way." The foreground area shows what appear to be immature subalpine firs of pole size or larger. The middleground shows a relatively steep mountain slope with a variety of vegetative conditions – open meadow areas are interspersed with forest clumps or stringers. The background shows Table Rock itself, a flat-topped summit with subalpine meadows covering most of it, but interspersed forest stands are also present in sheltered slope positions.
