F., Union County, Oregon; date: May 18, 1910; subject: L, Whitman – Claims, Warman, Jason W., H.E. 11664, La Grande 02843, this view shows part of natural meadow in foreground and a part of fenced enclosure and buildings in center and background; exposure: snap; stop: 8; light: bright; hour: 1:50 P. M.; direction: southeast; field no. 81546; col. no. "38 Ho 91"; relative situation: T 5 S, R 34 E. W. M. Sec. 17; altitude: 4000 approximately; soil: foreground, loam, background, light; taken by: Tipton, L. E. This photograph shows a forest scene from the northern Blue Mountains, with the foreground area supporting a natural wet meadow with a thick stand of graminoids and a lone tree that appears to be a lodgepole pine. The background view shows gentle topography with a buck-and-pole fence, an open conifer stand adjoining a structure with a light-colored roof, and dense mixed-conifer forest beyond the developed area. Note that the photographer referenced this photograph as being in the Umatilla National Forest, but if his references to Union County, Oregon and the township, range and section are correct, the area depicted is now administered by the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest (La Grande Ranger District).

Part of ground which has been cleared by homestead claim. 81547.

Abstract: This is a black-and-white photograph of moderate quality; although the focus is sharp, contrast is poor in the immediate foreground view but that could be due to deterioration of the print over time. The following information is provided on the back of the hard-card on which the print is mounted – locality: Umatilla N. F., Union County, Oregon; date: May 18, 1910; subject: part of ground which has been cleared by claimant is here shown in foreground. Garden plot in center of picture and a part of natural meadow and south slope in background, barren slope in extreme background; field no. 81547; col. no. "38 To 131"; relative situation: T 5 S, R 34 E. W. M.; altitude: 4000; slope: south in background; taken by: Tipton, L. E. This photograph shows a forest scene from the northern Blue Mountains, with the foreground area supporting what appears to be very young lodgepole pine seedlings (2 feet or less in height) and the middleground view dominated by a buck-and-pole fenced area that has been cleared of its forest cover (the garden plot referenced in the description?). The background view shows gently sloping hills supporting a mixed-conifer forest stand. Note that the photographer referenced this photograph as being in the Umatilla National Forest, but if his references to Union County, Oregon and the township and range are correct, the area depicted is now administered by the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest (La Grande Ranger District).
