Description

This black and white photograph features a view of the Red Deer River in Alberta, Canada, and the surrounding land from the center of the river. The river water is mostly calm with some small ripples. The land on the left side of the river has tall, light colored trees. The land on the right side of the river is darker in color, and the plant life is shorter and more sparse. Handwriting is below the photograph. "George F. Sternberg, now working on behalf of the Geological Survey of Canada, operated a scow-based camp on the Red Deer River between Red Deer and the Munson ferry near Drumheller. Sternberg was assisted by Jacey Glen Mayberry (died ca. 1950; Mayberry 1985) from Red Deer, J.A. Smith, George Housten, and Peter A. Bungart (1876–1948). "
