A winter view with significant snow on the ground showing five men and a cat tractor in foreground on the north side of the creek. The cat is chained to a log it has apparently dragged to the bridge site. The bridge under construction is partially visible in near middle ground with stringers and some cross logs in place. In the middle ground clearing on the far side of the creek, the canvas tent and fuel barrels are visible, as is a second cat tractor parked beneath a tall pole with a cross arm at the top and a large piece of fabric hanging on it. Heavy spruce forest is on all sides.
