Summary[edit]

Description

Original Caption: Peabody Coal Company strip mine, south of Colstrip. The coal fields of the Powder River Region cover some 25,000 square miles, the largest such area in North America. Long-range proposals call for massive strip-mining of this region, coupled with the construction of many huge power plants. The eventual mining development may be of such magnitude as to make the devastation of Appalachia seem minor by comparison, 06/1973.
