Description

Photograph of H. H. West's Buick parked in the near distance on the grade near Cottonwood Creek. Cottonwood Creek flows across the foreground. It cascades down rocks from right to left. Immediately in front of the creek, trees and ground brush line the near bank. On the far bank, rocks and ground brush line the bank at right and trees grow at left. H. H. West's Buick is parked on a road behind the creek's far bank. The car is left-of-center and is viewed from the side; it faces right. The road and the car are angled downward towards the right. A rocky and brush-covered hill- or mountainside stretches across the background.
