- Apple orchard and packing shed photos from Manson, Washington, including the undeniably iconic photo shown above as well as another great image of the same apple picker taken that year.
- 1940s and 1950s-era photos of camping and fishing Lake Curlew in Ferry County. The trout fishing looks to have been excellent, not to mention the porcupine hunting (note: pan to the bottom of this image to see 'Madilane and her porcupine, 1958').
- Wheat planting and harvesting photos from Grant County, including this happy harvest photo and a 1908 family harvest photo from the Low Gap area.
- Hunting images from throughout the region. We especially like this one from Republic, Washington.
- Group portaits by Frank Matsura, still held in a private collection by a family member with deep roots in Okanogan County. This photo features Matsura himself, joining in on an Omak-area watermelon feast.
