Vegetation and shrubbery flank the road, and fencing runs alongside, guiding the viewer's eye toward the distant town.Rufus, a small town in Sherman County, Oregon, has a rich history tied to the Columbia River and its development as a transportation hub. During the late 1920s, the area was primarily agricultural, relying heavily on farming and limited commercial activities. With the natural beauty of the Columbia River Gorge nearby, early settlers and travelers cherished the scenic landscapes typical of this region.Visible text on the front of the photograph reads "Rufus Oregon".
