Butte, Montana
1944

A black and white photograph of an industrial mining site with a headframe and associated buildings. Large piles of excavated material dominate the foreground, with a prominent conical mound in the center. An old, rusted barrel lies on the ground to the left. The sky is clear, suggesting a dry, dusty environment.
