I think this view past the Findley Mine is one great image as it sort of capture the District, as in front lower left you have houses and habitats for humans, you even see at least one outhouse for the toilet need! Then you have the dumps and structures of the reason for the humans to be there, the mining operations footprint so to speak, with many smaller dumps where each mark a mining hole that was someone's dream and hope for a better life, and then you have the large dumps like the Findley one from mines that was in gold and at least impacted some people's life for the better! In background against the sky you see the various dumps and mine structures making up the area around the former town of Altman, still seems to be some structures left of the town up there, and on the slope down towards the photographer there are these smaller log-cabins and homes of miners, among the mining dumps and Gallows-frames and other needed mining structures making up this photo. I did procure the colored version of this image, as I think it is nicer. Source is gray-toned, or in common speech black & white. Used an online service and tweaked and worked with image to get what looks best to my eyes for the moment.The Findley Mine

      General notes:
      Plat Map is partly interesting as it is showing several structures. At the northern edge of claim we find the Discovery Shaft, strangely enough as it should normally have been near center of claim. There is a second Shaft further south and then one single structure marked Houses south east of that again. More Houses is shown where this claim give way to claims from Shurtloff No. 2, Orpha May No. 2 and Mountain Beauty. Same area also has a third Shaft drawn in. On the southern part of the claim more Houses is drawn in. I felt this was fun to find. :-)
