View of Portage Lake ME. 38.

This image is from the back yard of a farmhouse looking across a rural road over the shoreline and panaoramic view of Portage Lake and distant hills. The water tower near the shoreline belongs to the Bangor & Aroostook Railroad (see below). One can see the down spout on the facing side of the tank. This would be replacement water for the steam locomotives in use at the time. [Identification on envelope: "BAR. Tank"]
