Description:
The print was printed reversed in mirror image by the reproducer, but it is "un-reversed" here to be seen correctly. This black and white photograph shows the process of the swamp lake called Poison Lake being filled in the 1950's to create an extra parking area for soon to be State Park. It shows the pattern of bulldozer tire marks pushing the sand from both land side and beach side creating a curved trench that carries water toward the lagoon.
