The collection contains 106 stereographs depicting the U.S. Topographical and Geological Survey of the Colorado River of the West (1871-1874), which was sponsored by the U.S. Geological Survey and conducted by J.W. Powell and A.H. Thompson. Most of the photographs are credited with John Karl Hillers, however images were also produced by E.O. Beamon and James Fennemore. The expedition series covers the southwestern Wyoming territory, the southern and northeast corner of Utah (Wasatch Mountains and Uinta Valley), southern Nevada, northern Arizona, and northern New Mexico. Various Indigenous tribal nations were photographed during the expedition and documented using phonetic spellings captured in the titles; the Kai-vav-its (Kaibab Band of Paiutes), The Uintah, Moapa Band of Paiutes, Hopi (Oraibi, Third mesa of the Hopi Nation), and Nav-a-jos (the Diné, Navajo Nation).
