The title points to a rocky outcrop, the kind of landmark that gave many western places the name Castle Rock, though the record does not say which one is shown. Oregon has many such formations, where volcanic basalt cliffs and pinnacles stand out against river valleys and forested hills. Pictures like this one show how these landscapes looked before roads, rail lines, and towns changed the views around them. What stands out is how sharply the rock separates from its surroundings, which is likely why the people who named it chose a name that suggests fortifications.
