Railroad tracks run in front of a wooded area identified as being near Cayuse Station, Thorn Hollow. Fences run along the railroad tracks and stop on either side of a railroad crossing. The crossing is left of center and has a white sign beside it. There are three tipis among the trees. On the right side of the photo is a wooden building. In between the right most tipi and the wooden building is a cage raised up off the ground on legs and another undetermined object on the ground. On the right half of the photo between the tipis and the railroad tracks is a cultivated area that could be a garden. Behind the tipis among the trees is a stream or river, and in the background are hills. The trees are both deciduous without leaves and conifers.
Railroad tracks lead through a meadow towards a low bluff. In the background are hills and mountains. There are fences on both sides of the tracks. On the left side, behind the fence, several tipis and a shed stand in a meadow dotted with conifers and leafless deciduous trees, and trees can be seen at intervals in the distance. The place is identified as "Near Thorn Hollow, Oregon".
A scene that has been identified as looking east from Thorn Hollow on the Umatilla Indian Reservation. Two tipis stand on a plain scattered with bare shrubs. In the background of the picture is a line of evergreens and bare-branched trees that runs along a stretch of railroad tracks. Telegraph poles are visible along the line of the tracks. Beyond them, smooth treeless hills rise up and are snow-covered in the distance. In the center of the photo, what looks like a meandering seasonal stream feeds into a swamp or pond. The tipis are set away from the pond a few yards. The tipi on the left is smaller and made of canvas; the tipi on the right is made of tule mats. Near the tipi on the right is a stack of firewood and a wagon. A tall bare pole stands some feet to the right of the wagon. The sky is cloudy., Thorn Hollow—Looking East [Thorn Hollow, Umatilla Indian reservation.]
On the Umatilla Indian Reservation at Thorn Hollow, a large long building with a long railroad platform is bordered by railroad tracks. Behind it is a large fenced compound containing two long buildings and a house. A large shed is to the left of the compound. A road bordered with utility poles intersects the railroad tracks. A road sign is visible. The compound is surrounded by trees and there are hills in the background.
A stream, some utility poles, railroad tracks, and fences cross a small valley. The valley has deciduous trees that don't have their leaves and a few conifers. Hills are in the background and the photo seems to be taken from above the valley. In the right foreground of the photo stands a tipi. In the middle to the far left is another tipi. There is a third tipi in the middle of the photo which stands to the right of the other tipi. This one is almost completely obscured by trees. The tipis in the middle of the photo both have a smaller wooden structure next to them. The words "Thorn Hollow" and some other indistinguishable words are written in the bottom left of the photo.
