Wernstedt, L. 1906. View along the main fork of the John Day River. 67840. USDA, Forest Service, Umatilla National Forest. Locality: Grant County, Oregon.
Abstract: This is a black-and-white photograph of high quality; the image is in sharp focus throughout. The following information is provided on the back of the hard-card on which the print is mounted – locality: Umatilla National Forest, Grant County, Oregon; date: December 3, 1906; subject: view along the main fork of the John Day River from 2 miles above junction showing edge of timber west of the river; col no.: "38 Wa 41"; relative situation: proposed Blue Mountains addition; direction: S.S.W.; taken by: Wernstedt, L. This photograph appears to have been taken near Spray or Kimberly, Oregon which is just south of the Heppner Ranger District, Umatilla NF. Note that it is likely that this photograph was acquired when the Blue Mountains area was being considered as a forest reserve, hence the reference in the "relative situation" portion of the photo information to a "proposed addition."
