This view of Camp #2

Description: This view of Camp #2, later the town of Cascada (now Big Creek), was taken from the south side of Big Creek Canyon on February 16, 1913. The absence of snow is unusual for the time of year, but it did enable the work to go faster. The penstock for Powerhouse #1 is in the early stages of construction, at upper right.
