Members of the crew pause in their work to pose with peaveys and axe. The location is surrounded by birch forest. The lumbering operation is located near Moro, Maine, owned by Emerson Lumber Company which was headquartered in Island Falls, Maine, according to B. A.

The photograph appears in Chandler's thesis, captioned "Hauling to landing." The landing, Chandler describes, "is simple in construction. If made on a river or pond, it consists of logs laid perpendicular to the bank on which the logs are rolled. " Accessioned 1958.
