#151 – General view of the canyon looking upriver from Stevens Gulch. In addition to his logging operations and providing crossties for the railroad, Cecil Deane also had the grading contract from just below Stevens Gulch up past his sawmill at future Deanesbury and to the site of the "upper iron truss bridge" (Bridge #1049). Deane encountered very heavy rock work in this section and had one crew working up from here and one crew working down from future Deanesbury, which was located just around the rocky point in the distance.
