The photograph shows an early roadway leading up Wopsy Lookout Road (Wopsononock Mountain). The road is straight and narrow, bordered by tall trees whose trunks create a corridor of shade along the path. The ground appears rough and unfinished, suggesting the road has just been cleared.

On the left side, a man leans casually against a stacked pile of cut logs, holding a hat in his hand. A short distance behind him, three women in long white dresses stand together along the edge of the clearing. On the right side of the road, another man stands near more stacked logs. The overall scene captures both the wilderness of the mountain and the early development of access to the Wopsononock summit.

The photograph is mounted on an ornate studio card with decorative printed borders.
