This is only a part of the town of Bralorne-Pioneer, which
stretches around the hillside and up into the gap where the two ridges in
the background close in at the banks of Cadwallader Creek at the entrance
to Pioneer Mine, beyond and above which was the town of pioneer, effectively
the "fourth townsite" of Bralorne but distinct and actually older community.
The combined population "greater Bralorne" was as high as 8,000 at
its peak.
First Townsite, visible here was the main commercial centre,
although there were businesses scattered throughout the valley. The
main entrance to the mine is hidden just behind the trees at centre right;
the mines offices are directly above the large shed in the mine complex,
just to the right of the very small white building in the centre of
the strip, which was the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.

A roof in the forest in the foreground (right centre) is that of one of the houses.of a neighbourhood known as Honeymoon Hollow, named because many young couples took up residence here, which grew up outside the crowded company town The road through the Hollow leads to a meadowed flat called The Loop where there were a few more residences, and from where the old trail-cum-road out into the Hurley Road used to come in before it was improved and routed via Gwyneth Lake to Lajoie.
