Album caption and index card: The mouth of the Little Colorado River as seen from Cape Solitude, 1,167 meters above the river level.

From this vantage point, the interrupted line of dense vegetation marking the flood level is visible, especially on the left bank. A few shrubs (circle) have become established below the upper fringe of plants. The Little Colorado River enters from the right, and its waters appear turbid in this July view.

Album caption and index card: This matching photograph was taken in March before many of the shrubs and trees in the valley were in full leaf.

These photographs (not shown) were taken at a time of maxiumum leaf development and reveal the same decline in the predam flood-line community as in this March view. The dense thicket on the terrace above the boats (at B) was thinned by a wildfire that burned through...
