Rector,
C. M. 1960. Multiple use management on Dale Ranger District
of the Umatilla
National Forest. 495019. USDA,
Forest Service, Umatilla National Forest. Locality: [Desolation
Creek below Desolation Meadows].
Abstract: These four black-and-white photographs
were acquired by Rector on August
29, 1960. They show a typical summer-time scene on Desolation
Creek in the vicinity of Desolation Meadows, North Fork John
Day Ranger District. Each of the four prints are of excellent
quality – the foreground, middleground, and background
scenes are all in sharp focus. In this image, there are two
mounted horseback riders in western wear (jeans, plaid shirts,
cowboy hats and boots) near a small group of cattle that
are grazing in the meadow. The creek banks in the foreground
portion
of this image bear obvious evidence of heavy use by cattle
and horses (exposed soil with hoof prints, etc.). In the
middleground and background portions of the image, grazing
cattle are clearly
evident. Near the edge of the creek and in the water is a
fisherman (William
Walker
Hinton) wearing hip-height waders, a wide-brimmed hat,
and a straw
creel. He has a fishing pole and is apparently fishing. The
background shows solid, dense, continous conifer forest beyond
the extent of the meadow. The second image
shows George Hinton on horseback in western
wear with his horse, Sugar, standing on
the creek bank. The third image is of George Hinton, with
his horse drinking from the creek itself. A black or dark-colored
dog
is standing near the horse. In the fourth image,
George and Fern Hinton are on horseback talking to William.

Reid, E. H. 1938.
General views of sheep grazing in the range study area,
Tenderfoot sheep allotment, Wallowa National Forest. 372024.
U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Wallowa-Whitman
National Forest. Locality: Tenderfoot Basin. Size: 8" x
10".
Abstract:
This black-and-white photograph was acquired by Reid in August
of 1938. It shows "general views of sheep grazing in the
range study area. Tenderfoot Sheep Allotment, Wallowa National
Forest, Oregon." This photograph was taken to document
sheep grazing impacts in the Tenderfoot Basin area of the Wallowa
Mountains of northeastern Oregon; Tenderfoot Basin is a high-elevation
area near the headwaters of the North Fork of the Imnaha River.
Vegetation in the basin is typical of much of the subalpine
zone in the high Wallowa Mountains – large expanses of
green fescue grassland interspersed with subalpine fir and
whitebark pine trees. It was ordered from the National Archives
because it provides a good example of sheep grazing impacts
sustained during the 1920s and 1930s, when domestic livestock
grazing was widespread in northeastern Oregon. This print is
of good quality – most areas in the scene are in sharp
focus, although one portion of the background has a dark area
that could be a cloud shadow or it could indicate a flaw in
the negative. The background shows open grassland areas interspersed
primarily with scattered whitebark pine trees, both alive and
dead. The middleground and background scenes show sheep trailing
across areas and raising dust clouds as they do so. Rocky areas
that apparently have suffered soil erosion are also evident
in the foreground.

Rohn, Don C. 1926.
Price Ranger Station. USDA,
Forest Service, Umatilla National Forest. Size: 8" x 10".
Abstract:
Very little is known about this photograph. The only information
was on the front of the photograph was the year "1926" and "Price
Ranger." Hand-written notations on the back of the photograph
included "Don C. Rohn, Price Ranger Station, 1926." The
photograph depicts two horses, one with rider and saddle and
the other with a pack, posing near a log structure with a wooden-shingle
roof. The area immediately adjacent to the structure had apparently
been overgrazed for a period because it supports a dense stand
of western coneflower (Rudbeckia occidentalis), an allelopathic
plant that increases following grazing and other disturbances.
Behind the structure is a dense stand of Engelmann spruce and
subalpine fir. The print quality is good; both the foreground
and background portions are in sharp focus.

Rohn, Don C. 1930.
Target Meadows? USDA, Forest
Service, Umatilla National Forest. Locality: T. 4 N.,
R. 38 E., sec. 28. Size: 8" x 10".
Abstract: Very little is known about this photograph.
The only notation was a hand written note on the back of the
photograph stating "Don C. Rohn, Target [Largest?] Mds,
1930." It is unknown if the name on the back of the photograph
is the person on the horse or the person who took the picture.
The photograph depicts two horses, one with rider and saddle
and the other with a pack, posing in a high-elevation meadow
area with a dense stand of Engelmann spruce and subalpine fir
in the background. Lying on the ground next to the horse with
rider is a dog. The print quality is moderate; both the foreground
and background portions are in relatively good focus.
