Photograph of exhibit from the Chamber of Commerce, showing mountain range bordering a large lake, [s.d.]. In the extreme foreground at center, a lush mountain hillside is visible. Many small plants resembling "yucca whipplei" can be seen dotting the vegetation. Each of these plants consist of a small, bushy base connected to a conically-shaped extension. In the background at center, a large lake is visible extending across the entire image. In the extreme background at the border of the lake, a large, flat bridge can be seen spanning across the water. Beyond the lake and the bridge, a tall mountain range consisting of two peaks can be seen against the horizon. At the bottom-right corner of the image, a black box inscribed with the number "52" is visible.
