An elevated view of the camp depicts rows of identical barracks. A man in a hat and overcoat stands in the right foreground, with a worried expression and his hand over his mouth. Another man, walking on the road below, scratches his head and appears to be lost. Open ditches for sewer pipes and the dirt dug to make them line the road. Two utility poles are visible.
