Converse County, Wyoming. 1870. Album caption and index card: Picturesque views of Rocky Mountain scenery. Box Elder Canyon affords a good section through the main ridge, being a much more regular gorge than the canyon of the La Prele. It is from 600 to 800 feet in depth, entirely of erosion, and so narrow that it is difficult to pass through it on foot, the side walls being perpendicular and sometimes overhanging. The predominating rocks are calcareous sandstones and some layers of quite fine limestones, with a great variety of texture. Converse County, Wyoming. 1870.

Album caption and index card: Natural Bridge, La Prele Canyon, view from above. A most marvelous natural curiosity, rivaling its famous namesake in Virginia. It is situated in La Prele Canyon, about 10 miles south from Fort Fetterman, on the North Platte. The canyon is formed by the passage of the creek through a long range that extends from La Bonte to the Red Buttes. Where the La Prele emerges from the canyon, it cuts through the limestone and red beds at right angles, forming a regular gorge, with walls from 50 to 150 feet in height. At the head of this gorge the stream has at sometime changed its bed, passing directly through a point of rocks that extend across the channel. The old bed is now overgrown with...
