Description: We see four men in front of the Summit Depot in the Green River area. The Summit Depot was located along the Right Hand Branch Belone Brook, about 4 kilometers from Third Lake. It is at the Summit Depot, from 1938 to 1975, that equipment, supplies and food were stored to be distributed to the neighbouring camps. The Summit Depot was also the site where Quonset huts were constructed. Those camps had a semicircular arching roof made of corrugated metal.
