This sepia-toned stereograph features two nearly identical photographs mounted side-by-side on a yellow card, depicting a wide, arid canyon landscape. The foreground is a flat, dry plain covered with sparse desert scrub and low-lying bushes. In the midground, the terrain rises into steep, eroded cliffs and rocky slopes characterized by distinct horizontal geological layering and vertical grooves. A large, dark shadow from an unseen formation on the left stretches across the canyon floor. The background shows higher, craggy mountain peaks under a pale, clear sky. The card contains vertical printed text in the margins: "GEOLOGICAL SERIES." on the left and "Explorations West of the 100th Meridian. Expedition of 1872, Lieut. Geo. M. Wheeler, Com'dg." on the right. Small text at the bottom left attributes the work to "W. Bell, Phot." while the bottom center contains the caption, "No. 114—Kanab Wash, Colorado Basin." A grayscale calibration strip is visible along the top edge of the digital image, separate from the physical card.
