Mesas north of town of Cabezon and west-northwest of San Luiz, 1911. Note arroyos and development of "Badlands"-type topography.
(W.T. Lee 697)

Retake of Lee 697; 6/19/98. Looking north from a point on the road between San Luis and Cabezon. No trace of the road or the arroyo visible in 1911 could be found in 1998. Areas of small, dark shrubs (Snakeweed) in middle of view may presently occupy areas that were disturbed by erosion in 1911. Snakeweed is commonly found on disturbed areas and is commonly taken as an indicator of overgrazed land. A few juniper trees have sprouted up below the base of the talus in the distance.
