Extent
1 item : A nice view of Ahsahka and the forks of the river. Note on back: " Note the work by Murphy Bros. of Spokane has just started in the construction of the access road up to dam site. See the clearing on the left. Ahsahka mill, lower, and Orofino in the distance, upstream on upper right. Canoe camp is marked by wax pencil. This is where Lewis and Clark stopped in 1805 and changed their horses for canoes to continue their trip to the mouth of the Columbia. This is now a part of the Nez perce Historical Park. Bet they never thought of a dam when they were there. (A. B. Curtis)"
