USGS Lakeview. Mold on ceiling. See images 066, 070, 072, and 073. What appears to be a decorative border between the wall and the ceiling actually marks the air space above the highest flood level. The mold grew best there. October 2, 2005. These are currently displayed in this year's USGS Photo Contest. U.S. Geological Survey "Lakeview" photographs document weekend "free time" in Lakeview. D.K. Demcheck's mother-in-law and brother-in-law lived here. His mother-in-law's place took 6 feet of water for two weeks. It was looted at least 3 times. The press reports of gunfire and breakdown of social order were exaggerated, but the amount of looting was not exaggerated.
Death Valley National Park, California. Wood post shattered by salt, an example of evaporation effects on the salt pan. This wood post, 3.5 feet long, was set in the flood plain of Salt Creek about 1910; ground level was at the lower edge of the bulge. Water rising in the wood evaporated at ground level and burst the wood with precipitated salts. Drawn by J.R. Stacy from photo, circa 1960. Figure 15, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 494-B.

Death Valley National Park, California. Salt saucers, climax of the salt wedges and polygonally cracked salt crusts. The secondary cracks have so widened, the crusts have been thrust outward. These were old enough when photographed to have collected some silt (dark surface in lower left), and the bottom of each saucer is pierced by one or more drain holes. These saucers, one mile west of Badwater, were destroyed by solution when flooded in 1969. Figure 57, U.S. Geological Survey Professional paper 494-B. Drawing of photo.
