Description

This black and white photograph features an anticline in the Dog Creek Valley of Montana. The foreground of the photograph features grass and sagebrush throughout the land. A few coniferous trees are visible in the middle of the photo. The anticline in Dog Creek Valley is seen in the background. This anticline has Claggett shales, as well as Eagle sandstone, coming up against the Claggett. The shale and sandstone give the midsection of these hills a rocky and eroded surface. The anticline has many coniferous trees, most of which are on the middle hilltop. Handwriting is below the photograph.
