Image is of Colonists Walt and Melva Pippel’s frame house and two outbuildings.   Row crops are in foreground and beyond the buildings.  A wood pile is apparent.  A road is visible beyond the house, this being the Fishhook Road leading at left to Hatcher Pass and the gold mines.  Beyond the road is a heavily forested ridge formed of wind-blown soil from the Matanuska River unseen just beyond.  The Glenn Highway was later located on this ridge.
