Rawlins, 1887.
Update - 2009: Black & white print on cream colored mat. Image of early day Rawlins from cut looking east. In foreground looking down toward railroad tracks is a buck fence along a ridge then disappears off the hill, to reappear again lower & proceed east parallel to railroad tracks. A wood bridge is over a creek bed that winds on the south side of tracks. As tracks proceed toward town there are sidetracks where docks and warehouses line the north side of the tracks. There are buildings more distant from the tracks on the south side with a line of high line poles in front of them. Two larger buildings in the distance are seen one; is multilevel & the other has a large chimney. On the north side of tracks are business & residence buildings. The old Central School & old Court House are visible. Houses are sparsely placed between them & tracks.
