Description
Photograph of two men standing among rows of salt stacks in the north end of Death Valley, 1910-1920. The two men are at left and are wearing suits and ties. They are silhouetted against the light-colored salt stacks (aka borax haystacks) that surround them. The stacks are conical in shape and are neatly lined up in seemingly never-ending rows. A tall mountain range stretches across the background of the image.
