Cave Creek Canyon: Then and Now at Sunny Flats Campground
The next series of photographs are from Sunny Flats Campground. These photographs, from the 1920's, were apparently taken from the open meadow in the center of the campground that has existed since at least the time of the early photograph. Note the increase in woody shrubs in the open meadow. This area is usually mowed by the Forest Service to maintain the open space. While the density of tree cover and vegetation visible on the hillsides seems similar in both photographs.

I sure like the work you are doing from the then and now!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Comparing old photographs with new images it is possible to document the changes over time in the landscape as a result of cattle grazing, fire, and construction. Just need to find more old photographs of the Chiricahua's.
ReplyDeleteFinding old photographs would be the project in hand.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I know that there are personal collections around the valley but online material is lacking.
