- Description
- Southward aerial oblique view of subsidence depressions, pits, and cracks above the south part of the abandoned room and pillar Acme mine. The mine was operated from the early 1900's to 1943. The location and geometry of subsidence depressions and pits correspond to mining areas and to individual mine openings. Close view of subsidence depressions containing pits and bounded by tension cracks. Pits of markedly different ages area present, ranging from bowl-like depressions blanketed by green grass, many years or decades old, to small pits with vertical or overhanging walls, only a few months or years old. Subsidence depressions, pits, and cracks occur sporadically on road in left foreground and present problems to stock and vehicle travel. Sheridan County, Wyoming. May 1976.
