This image is a sepia-toned photograph depicting an impressive natural landscape titled "Rain Sculpture, Salt Creek Canon, Utah." The photograph prominently showcases rugged, eroded rock formations that appear to have been sculpted by rainwater over time, revealing vertical ridges and dramatic textures. The rock forms a serrated, layered canyon wall, surrounded by sparse vegetation and a dry, rocky foreground. In the top portion of the canyon, scattered tufts of plants or shrubs are visible on the hilltops, while bushes or small trees occupy the lower areas of the image.

The photograph is mounted on a cream-colored mat with printed text beneath it, identifying the subject and location. Above the mounted photograph, there is a seal and text referring to the "Explorations & Surveys West of the 100th Meridian, Expedition of 1872," reflecting the historical significance of the image as part of a survey project led by Lt. George Wheeler. The image gives the impression of an arid, rugged environment and highlights the artistry of natural erosion.
