The image depicts a historical black and white photograph showing several individuals working with horses on a rugged terrain, likely engaged in construction or labor-intensive work. The scene appears to be from an earlier time period, suggested by the clothing style of the workers and the absence of modern machinery. In the foreground, four men are actively involved in handling large rocks while being assisted by two mules that appear yoked together. One man is bending over to lift a rock using his hands, another stands upright with one hand on his hip observing the task, and the other two men sit or kneel amongst the scattered stones. The middle ground shows more individuals, including four horse-drawn wagons attached to additional horses. These figures are clustered around what appears to be a mound of earth or rocks being transported by the mules. The people seem focused on their tasks, with some working and others possibly taking brief rests as indicated by one individual slouched over. The background reveals an expansive landscape with undulating terrain leading towards trees in the distance under a cloudy sky. There is no visible water body directly associated with dam construction from this vantage point; however, it implies such work was part of larger land use adjustments mentioned in the context provided.

The image captures a black and white moment from the Widtsoe land use adjustment project in Garfield County, Utah. It shows six workers, likely miners or laborers based on their attire of hats, boots, and work clothes, gathered around two horses hitched to a small cart. The men are actively engaged in loading boulders onto what appears to be a stone boat—a device used for transporting materials across the Tropic Dam spillway during construction. Their posture suggests they might have just heaved or are readying themselves to move another heavy rock, indicating physical labor and teamwork. In the background, we see an expansive landscape of rocky terrain with sparse vegetation leading up to a forested hillside under a clear sky. The photograph's historical context is further supported by its grainy quality and monochrome palette, typical of early 20th-century photography documenting rural development projects in America.
