Brown-toned sketch on paper with white border, set against black background. The sketch depicts a landscape with trees and possibly a house or structure on the right side. In the foreground, a body of water and some vegetation are drawn. The artist's signature appears at the bottom right, and a descriptive phrase 'Digger Indians Elk Creek' is written at the bottom. The overall style of the sketch is simple and minimalist, with an emphasis on lines and basic shapes. The image is somewhat abstract and lacks detailed features. The color palette is limited to shades of brown. The composition is divided into a background with hills or mountains and a foreground with more detailed elements.
