[Photographer
unknown]. [Date unknown]. Fremont power house and power
line.
USDA, Forest Service, Umatilla National
Forest. Locality: T. 9 S.,
R. 35 E., sec. 9. Size: 7" x 11".
Abstract:
This is a high-quality, sepia-tone photograph, with almost
all areas of the print in sharp focus. It was taken near the
Fremont power house, which is an important structure in the
Fremont Historic District on the North Fork John Day Ranger
District. During the gold mining boom of the early 1900's,
the Fremont Powerhouse was important for generating
and distributing electrical power for the Red Boy mine and other
mines in adjacent mining districts. This photograph was taken
from a high vantage point looking down toward the power house
itself. It was taken in winter when the snowpack was fairly
deep. A dense stand of mixed conifers is shown in the background;
a power line corridor occupies the exact center of the background
view. It was constructed in 1908 and produced electricity for
the town of Granite until 1956. Donated to the USFS in 1959,
the powerhouse is listed on the National Register of Historic
Places. It is located on
Forest Road 10 about 40 miles east of Dale.

sec. 9. Size: 7" x 11".
Abstract: This
is a high-quality, sepia-tone photograph, with almost all areas
of the print in sharp focus. It was taken near the Fremont
power house, which is an important structure in the Fremont
Historic District on the North Fork John Day Ranger District.
The power house was important for generating and distributing
electrical power for the Red Boy mine and other mines in adjacent
mining districts. This photograph was taken from a high vantage
point looking down toward the power house itself. It was taken
in summer. In the foreground, a wooden power pole is dominant,
although a large clump of snowbrush ceanothus is clearly distinguished
at the base of the pole. The ceanothus appears to be in bloom.
A dense stand of mixed conifers is present in the middleground
view, although a regenerated clearcut with small seedlings
is located near the base of the slope and to the right of the
power house. The drainage (Congo Gulch) is also visible in
the middleground scene. The background shows smooth mountain
slopes supporting moderately dense mixed-conifer forest.

[Photographer
unknown]. [Date unknown]. Power line above Fremont power
house. USDA, Forest Service, Umatilla National Forest.
Locality: T. 9 S., R. 35 E., sec. 9. Size: 7" x 11".
Abstract: This is a high-quality, sepia-tone
photograph, with most areas of the print in relatively sharp
focus. It was taken near the Fremont power house, which is an
important structure in the Fremont Historic District on the North
Fork John Day Ranger District. The power house was important
for generating and distributing electrical power for the Red
Boy mine and other mines in adjacent mining districts. This photograph
was apparently taken on a high ridgeline somewhere above the
power house; the house itself is not visible in this image. The
foreground scene is dominated by rock and the low-growing grasses
and forbs commonly encountered on a high-elevation site. A dense
stand of mixed conifers is present in the middleground view,
which seems to be at a considerably lower elevation than the
foreground scene (e.g., the scene is falling away rapidly from
foreground to middleground). The background shows high-elevation
mountain slopes supporting discontinuous subalpine forest and
many areas of exposed rock or talus.
