Album caption and index card: Badlands on Laramie River. From the Chugwater, we cross table-like plains for 10 miles, and descend to the beautiful valley of the Laramie. The Tertiary rocks near the crossing have weathered into quite remarkable architectural forms, much like those of White River of Dakota. The texture is similar also, with marls and calcareous concretions, passing up into fine sandstone, which decompose so readily that valleys and the hills are covered with loose sand. Platte County, Wyoming. 1870.

Album caption and index card: Castellated rocks on the Chugwater. A very conspicuous feature which we notice in descending the valley of the Chugwater is the high bluff of Lower Cretaceous sandstone, which stretches away toward the northeast like a huge wall. The jointage is so regular that it presents the appearance of massive masonwork gradually falling to decay. The sides of these sandstone walls are from 40 to 60 feet perpendicular, sometimes overhanging, large masses of which have broken off and fallen to the base. Their most striking feature, however, is to weather into most picturesque castellated forms. The valley of the Chugwater is 100 miles long, and is a favorite place to winter stock. Platte County,...
