Landscape of a "high desert" mountainous area. Little vegetation grows here and scrub brush covers the mountains in the background. Rock layers can be seen on the sides of the mountains and the base of the mountains turns into a flat plateau. Slide labeled with text, "Made by G.R. Swain, 713 E. University Ave., Ann Arbor, Michigan." Swain was staff photographer at U of M from 1913 to 1947.
