Stereographic view of an unidentified man sitting in the shade on a large boulder under Arch Rock, a landmark along the line of the Denver, South Park & Pacific Railroad. The man holds a long branch, possibly using it for a fishing pole; two men stand in the background on a railroad track near a large water tank at the mouth of Deer Creek (west of Crossons in the Platte Canyon southwest of Denver, Colorado). The water tank was replaced by a larger tank at Crossons in the late 1880s.
