Photograph of a view of Vasquez Rocks, showing a dog and automobile south of Mint Canyon Highway, [s.d.]. A large, jagged edge of rock is visible at left, jutting on a slant towards the right where a shorter, more rounded formation can be seen. In the left foreground, a dog can be seen sitting on the dirt path that runs between the two rocks, and an automobile can be seen at the base of the rock formation to the left. These rocks were one of the hideouts of the bandit Tiburcio Vasquez.
