Photograph of San Luis Obispo Creek running through a forest, ca.1905. The narrow stream is at center and runs very straight and smoothly. The water is not clear and it is difficult to see the bottom of the creek. The stream is lined with small rocks, and bushes grow on both sides. Tall, twisted trees reach across the stream from either side. The trees have few leaves. There are pine trees visible in the distance at left, and in the background at left, a large hill is visible.
