One of 9 photographs of the Northeast Harbor area taken in the 1880's during encampments by the Champlain Society. "As far as I am able to tell by carrying the picture to the site, a combination of reforestation and the cutting down of a hill to make the intersection of routes 3 and 233, this photo is not quite possible to replicate. The poles carried telegraph wires." Tom Eliot
