Retake Photo

Retakes of Lee 777/Stanton 794/ Leopold 4; 7/3/98. Cabezon Village as seen from the south. Lee's earlier view appears to be with a telephoto lens(?). The most striking feature of this view is the absence of any trace of the road seen in Stanton and Lee's photographs. Although Leopold's view is somewhat fuzzy, the road appears to have been overgrown by 1946. A ground search confirmed that the road had been obliterated at present. However, two gullies (located at the arrows in the recent view and shown in detail in the photographs below) present today are very linear and may have formed along a later road and/or cattle trails. It is not possible to determine if these gullies are present in 1946.
35° 36.48' N, 107° 4.20' W, 65 mm lens.
