This photograph from the USS Columbia album depicts a hillside street in a Mexican mining town, likely visited by crew members during an inland excursion from a Gulf or Pacific port call in the early 1900s. The mine headframe on the ridge and tramway tracks reflect the region's silver-mining economy, while the sombrero-clad figures in the foreground add local color to this glimpse of turn-of-the-century Mexico.
