From accompanying material: Item 22: T30N, R12W, S9 - A very impressive view in Beaver Creek Canyon where the wind destroyed everything in the bottoms and hit the mountainside fairly; in this case breaking off many of the trees. Shows part of the road, and hemlock logs removed from it. On the mountain, much of the timber is fir of good size. PH Coll 1422.22 On January 29, 1921, a hurricane-force windstorm struck the Washington coast. So much timber was destroyed that the storm was called "The Great Blowdown." Destruction was heaviest in the west end of Clallam County. The photographs in this collection were likely taken March 22-24, 1921 between the towns of Beaver and Mora, Washington during Governor Louis Hart's tour of the area with state and county officials.
