Stumps still stand thick across the slope in this view of a cutover hillside, with thin young regrowth coming up between them. Land like this was a common sight across the Northeast and Great Lakes states in the late 1800s and early 1900s, when clearing for timber and farmland stripped many hills bare. Farms often kept such ground for pasture or let it return to woods over the following decades. The picture is a useful record of how much of the rural landscape was shaped by logging rather than by crops alone.
