Mesa Falls on Henrys Fork.

Here's something a little different, aerial imagery from 1938:

It may be a little early for a hint, but you can see a bridge in the lower-left of the aerial image. Parts of that bridge are still standing, but the span across the river is gone. There's a newer steel and concrete bridge a short distance to west. I'd bet a fair number of BCP members have been across the newer bridge, and I know a few have been to the ranch shown in the 1938 aerial image.

Is that Hite before the dam was built?

Is that Hite before the dam was built?

No, but there are very, very strong ties between Hite and this place.

Could be way off. Never heard of this place but the image looks to line up with this area on google maps.

Is it Chaffin Ranch on the San Rafael River?

Is it Chaffin Ranch on the San Rafael River?

That's the spot! The Chaffins (mostly Lou and his wife and children) ran the ranch, and Lou's brother Art ran the Hite ferry from 1946 to 1964.
