View of Main Avenue heading into town; vehicles are parked on the sides of the street. There is a single vehicle moving down the street. What appears to be two smoke stacks are visible on the right side of the photo with Smelter Mountain in the background.
Drawing of a burrow with one ear up and one ear down, a pine branch decorates the picture. The text on this postcard reads, "I am the burro passive, I carry burdons (sic) massive, Up long steep trails I go, Over the rocks and through the snow"
Photo of Animas River flooding over the banks, on back "Real photo 1910" is written in pencil, but the peak of the flood was in October of 1911. Animas City was the region (that has been part of the City of Durango since 1948/49) north of Junction Street to 37th Street.
