Image is an alpine mountain setting with three white buildings, one apparently still under construction, evident in center middle ground. Several smaller buildings and tents are downhill to the left. A portion of another structure is visible at right and a small structure next to a road stands at left. Five metal cylindrical structures stand isolated at right as well. Together, the buildings form much of the Independence Mine base complex to date. In far middle ground a portion of the access road is evident as it descends from the pass which is now referred to as Hatcher Pass.
