A view of a rocky, fast-flowing stream bordered by dense green woodland, captioned as good trout water in Penn's Creek. Penn's Creek is a limestone spring creek in central Pennsylvania (Snyder and Union counties) long celebrated among anglers for its wild brown and rainbow trout. The card's linen-era coloring and humorous caption typify mid-century roadside souvenir views of American fishing streams.
