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.

8. Construction of fish truck at Ariel Dam
Construction of fish truck at Ariel Dam
Description
Black and white image showing construction on the Ariel Dam. In the distance are trees along the top of the hillside. In the upper right of the picture is a wooden structure consisting of scaffolding and a building with wooden steps leading down from it. This structure is on a dirt hillside leading down to a body of water. At the base of the steps is an automobile from the 1920s. In the center of the image is a wooden building with some barrels stacked behind it. There are wires stretched across the image leading down to a hook that is being positioned by a construction worker. A fish truck is being constructed across the water in the lower part of the image. Ariel Dam is one in a string of huge power development units on the Lewis River. With its headwaters in the icefields on the western slopes of Mount Adams, the Lewis River flows westward through Gifford Pinchot National Forest to the western boundary of Skamania County. From there to the Columbia River, it represents the boundary between Cowlitz County and Lewis County.

One of two part panorama. Looking across Columbia River to Vancouver, Wash.
Description
A black and white image looking north across the Columbia River to the town of Vancouver, Washington. The river is in the foreground. At the far left a tall smokestack is seen behind some buildings. In the middle of the photo is a building with the large letters OWL (possibly standing for the Union Pacific Railroad's Oregon-Washington Limited) near the top. Various other buildings, some wooden, line the riverbank. Tall log pilings are driven in several places along the shore. Near the shore in the middle of the photo is a barge. Towards the left on the bank is a large flat piece of material tilted into the water, perhaps something to do with the building of a bridge across the Columbia. In the background to the right of the photo are trees and low hills.
