There has to be a story here, given the woman leaning against the pole and the caption, but I don’t know what it is. I do know Dietrich was built on sagebrush-covered lava, on the slope of an extinct volcano, and that it still has just one general store. And because it sits on solid rock, it only got running water in 1993 and a sewer system in 1996.
Love the water trough that dominates the photo.

The Columbus (Ohio) Arsenal was founded in 1862, and was known as the Columbus Barracks from 1905 through 1922. It was renamed Fort Hayes to honor Rutherford B. Hayes, a Civil War veteran, U.S. Congressman, Governor of Ohio, and President of the United States (1877-1881).
The post office in Orangeville, Ontario, showing that you can still be majestic even if the lot is small.
