Taken in
1918 by Charles D. Walcott, this panorama is 104" in total length
- almost 9 feet. We had to digitally
stitch the computer image together from Walcott's single negative.
On the extreme
right of the section above, you see the high ridges and hills
formed by the erosion of the Upper Cambrian shale. Moving
from right to the left, the high
peaks of the Bow Range along the Continental Divide
between British Columbia and Alberta, Mount Sharp, and the
northern end of Washmawapta Ridge.
Not pictured
to the left of the second section:
The head waters
of Tumbling Creek and Ochre Creek, 10 miles west-
Southwest of Vermilion Pass, which is 7 miles west-southwest
of Castle
Mountain on the Canadian Pacific Railway, Alberta, Canada.
