This image is a historical black and white photograph depicting a scene from the Black Canyon of the Colorado River. The viewpoint is from above a campsite, labeled as "Camp 7." In the foreground, you can see a river bank with a small boat tied up to the shore and several boxes or crates scattered around, indicative of a temporary campsite or exploration activity. The river itself is calm and extends into the distance, flanked on both sides by steep, rocky canyon walls. The landscape appears rugged and remote, with no visible signs of modern infrastructure. The top of the photo contains text referencing the "Explorations in Nevada and Arizona, Expedition of 1871," led by a Lieutenant George M. Wheeler. The photo credit at the bottom left corner attributes the image to "T.H. O'Sullivan, Phot."
