Verso reads, "Looking northeast across Gap Branch of Luna's Creek from the Widow Scott's field on top of Benham's Spur, Harlan County, Kentucky. In the foreground on the left is one prong of the Ragged Spur and on the right the point of the Big Fork Ridge. In the center is the Big Black Mountain with Luna's Ridge to the left. Heading in Luna's ridge are (beginning on the left) 1st, Joe Blair Br., 2nd, Laurel Hill Br. and 3rd, Long Rock Br. that heads at the butt of Luna's Ridge.
