This image shows a large rock formation that appears to have been left standing after surrounding limestone bluff material was eroded away. A man can be seen standing in an opening between two vertical sections of the formation. Another man is seated at the base of the structure. The trunk of a large aspen or birch tree is visible to the right of the rock formation. The photographer’s notes indicate that this was “A rock on 300” Mound 700 ft. above Mississippi River,” and probably was located in eastern Dubuque County, Iowa.
