The photographs are not dated, but eight of the landscapes have printed headings for the "Geological and Geographical Survey of the Territories, Second Division, J.W. Powell, Geologist in Charge." John Wesley Powell became the director of the Second Division in 1875, and the organization was renamed the Geographical and Geological Survey of the Rocky Mountain Region in 1877. Thus, these eight pictures were printed and mounted during 1875-1877. Additionally, an artistic gold border surrounds each image. The photographs were not numbered or captioned, but someone has pencilled captions on the back of the boards. The following list uses these captions.
