Path of the mud flow from the 1919 landslide at Belden. The cribbing at the top left of the photo is broken and the mud flows around some buildings, over additional cribbing, over the railroad tracks, and into the Eagle River at the bottom. The flow parallels the path of the tram to Gilman, which was not damaged.

Dorothy Hughes when she was five years old, standing on a platform at the Belden mill (below the town of Gilman). Mr. Spear, team tender, is standing on the right. Tram tracks are above Spear's head. A mudslide came down the hill and blocked the railway and river. The Hughes family lived at Belden from 1919 to 1922.
