A black-and-white 1871 photograph of a massive purpose-built log. It appears to be at least 500 feet long and 150 feet high at the tallest point. Behind it, a lake has formed in what was once a valley. In the distance are tree-covered hills leading up to a mountain range far away.
The technical skills to build this were amazing. Dam and Lake, Nevada County, California c1871. Photo by Carleton Watkins.
