Retake Photo

Retake of Schrader 1257; 8/6/98. Arroyo Balcon has both deepened and widened and a new headcut has worked its way into this view. Since the main stem of the Puerco incised at Cabezon (just downstream) sometime in the 1890's, the arroyo shown in Schrader's view was probably no more than a few years old.
35° 40.58' N, 107° 4.08' W, 50 mm lens.
