Looking northwest from a Bellyache viewpoint towards Eby Creek, the Eagle River is running through midfield. The road bridge is at center with the railroad bridge north of it. The railroad water tank is visible at the left. The Nogal-Ping hotel is on the corner of Capitol Streeth, the first lefthand turn up the hill. This is before Hwy 6 & 24 was built. In order to get to Wolcott further east, one had to cross the Eagle River here.
