          Part of Pacific Great Eastern Railway Region Photograph Collection

          Photograph depicts a view of St'a7mes village looking north, taken from the original Government Wharf in Squamish (Newport).

          • the Merrill & Ring logging operation beach camp is not depicted (opened in 1926)
