The picture on the front of this photo postcard was taken by George Schenk.  Canyon Creek, formerly called Georgetown, was a gold camp and is located about 6 miles northeast of Marysville.

This is the back of the photo postcard, with a note written by Mary.  It appears the note may have been written in two parts, since “Falls in Canyon Creek” is written in green ink and the remainder is written in black.  I think Mary may have gone through her photo collection in later years and made a “best guess” at dates.  And in this case, the “1898” date may be incorrect – assuming this photo was taken with the Kodak camera that was introduced in 1903 for the purpose of allowing amateur photographers to take and mail personal photographic postcards like this one.
