Stereograph view of the flour mill district. The Cedar Street Bridge is in the background, and the mills are, right to left going back, the Winnebago Flour Mills, Patten's Flour Mills, Island Cty Mills, Keystone Mills and the Atlantic Mills (Neenah Stone Mils in 1870). Since the mill to the extreme left is definitely labeled as the Atlantic Mills in the photograph, it would prove the date is not exactly 1870, but it cannot be much later as the buildings, bridge, etc. are exactly the same as pictured in an 1870 view. There is a young boy sitting on log in foreground (fishing?).
