View of Wood's Crossing and Whiskey Hill, ca.1900 (ca.1930?)

Photograph of a view of Wood's Crossing and Whiskey Hill, ca.1900 (ca.1930?). In center a small puddle surrounded by earth and rock is all that occupies the riverbed. The farthest riverbank leads to an automobile parked to the left in front of a large tree. To the right of the automobile Whiskey Hill is sandy and littered with large rocks in the center, but covered with thick woods on the right-hand side, further down the bank of the dried riverbed. Photo file card reads "It was here in 1848 that the first gold was found in Tuolumne County. Saloons and shanties soon sprung up on the hill -- but all is deserted now".

约1900年（亦标注为约1930年）的伍德渡口（Wood's Crossing）与威士忌山（Whiskey Hill）景观老照片。画面中央的河床中，仅存一汪被泥土与石块环绕的小水洼。最远的河岸旁，一棵大树前方左侧停着一辆汽车。汽车右侧的威士忌山，中部为沙地且遍布大块岩石，而沿干涸河床向下的右侧区域则覆盖着茂密林木。照片归档卡上标注："1848年，图奥勒米县（Tuolumne County）的首处金矿便发现于此。彼时山坡上很快建起了酒馆与棚屋，但如今早已荒无人烟"。
