DFairbanks—Thank you so much for posting all of this. Your photograph shows a massive corral system, comparable to what one would see today at a major operation. I then looked up that Matadore ranch and that is an enormous spread. 130,000 acres, 3000-4000 head of cattle, even today. I would check with them and see if they have a copy of that photograph, I bet they would love to have one of they don't. It would be easy to get copied.
