The picture pairs a park ranger with Jefferson Rock at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, where the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers meet below steep cliffs. The rock takes its name from Thomas Jefferson, who described the gap in his *Notes on the State of Virginia* (1785) as a scene worth crossing the Atlantic to see. Harpers Ferry later became part of the National Park Service's historical park, which explains why a ranger appears in the frame. The spot is a good place to see how the landscape shaped the town's importance.
