This 1907 photograph shows a dirt road passing through a deep rock cut near Bark River in Delta County, Michigan. Steep exposed rock walls frame the roadway, while a wooden railing and utility or telegraph poles follow the route.
The University of Michigan identifies the image as “The Rock Cut, Bark River, Mich.” and preserves it as a real photo postcard in the David V. Tinder Collection of Michigan Photography. The postcard record is dated 1907, offering a rare look at rural Upper Peninsula travel before modern paved highways reshaped the area.
