Description: A black and white view of the toll bridge built across the Columbia River to link Hood River, Oregon, with the vicinity of Bingen, Washington. Built in the 1920s. This view is looking south towards Hood River and shows Mt. Hood, Hood River, and the Hood River Valley in the distance. Deciduous trees line both shores, and the hills in the background are fairly well forested, with conifers primarily in evidence. Buildings are visible in the middle ground on the low hills, especially to the right. A slight haze hangs over the valley in the distance but in the foreground the shadows of a sunny day are strong.

Description: A train of the Oregon-Washington Railroad and Navigation Company steams through the midground of this black and white image, taken from the south side of the Columbia River. There is one locomotive and about 10 cars on the train. In the foreground is a pond, mostly encircled by trees except to the left, where ruts of a dirt road can be seen. The train travels on an embankment. Behind it can be seen the river, with low, sparsely-treed hills rising beyond. There are puffy clouds in the sky.

Description: Black and white image of cascades of the Columbia River. A man is standing on one of two large rocks in the foreground on the right hand side. Trees and mountains are visible in the background. A large rock in the middle of the river is prominent in the forground of the image.

Description: A black and white image of a view from above the Columbia River. There is a paved road with a fence along it in the foreground. A sign beyond the fence warns that "no parking on pavement is allowed". The road appears to be running along a cliff in this area. Below are conifers and deciduous trees. Along the shores of the river buildings are visible among the trees and meadows. In the background a steep, intermittently-wooded bluff rises. In the middle of the photograph is a low-lying area of land that may be an island. In the top right of the photograph the river changes course with a bend to the left.

Description: A black and white image of Castle Rock on the Columbia River. Fir trees line the riverbank and the shoreline in the immediate foreground is covered with stones and pebbles. Five rowboats or sailboats surround a small steamboat. An American flag is visible on one end of the steamboat. One person is in each of four of the smaller boats; the fifth boat is empty and is close to shore.

Description: Black and white image of a fish wheel along the banks of the Columbia River. In the background are mountains and trees lining the riverbank. Several houses can be seen on the opposite shore. The fish wheel juts out from the riverbank in the foreground of the image. There is a wooden walkway leading out to the wheel and there appears to be a small fishing trawler docked to the side of it.

Description: A black and white photograph of The Dalles, Oregon, taken from a hill southeast of town ca. 1908. In the background to the north the Columbia River winds its way to the sea; beyond it rise up low mountains. There are a few buildings on the Washington side of the river; on the Oregon side a number of houses and other buildings can be seen amongst the scattered deciduous and conifer trees. The largest buildings are near the shore. The tower of the what is probably the Christian Church, which was built in 1893 at 9th and Court streets, is just visible near the center of the photograph. In the foreground are fields and meadows with fences. In the right foreground is a road. Near it a white horse grazes, while two men walk along it beyond a barn.

Description: A black and white image of men with horses using nets to sein at the edge of the Columbia River. A small sailboat is in foreground and a steamboat is on far side of river. All of the men wear hats, some wear rubber aprons and high rubber boots. In the background can be seen the opposite shore of the river, with trees growing on the hillside and some cliffs.

Description: A landscape photograph of a paved roadway probably crossing the Columbia River. The view is looking down the river, with mountains and tree-covered hillsides visible on both sides of the river. On the left side of the road is an arched cement barrier. It is a cloudy, dark day. Some flowers can be seen blooming at the far right edge of the picture along the roadway.
