NNev - Washoe Lake causeway

In the late 1800s a causeway crossed the north end of Washoe Lake, heading directly east from (Old) Washoe City. When the lake is at a very low level, as here, the stumps of posts that supported the causeway are exposed. Strikingly straight alignments of vegetation and differently colored dirt also must be artificial in origin, and presumably also indicate where structures existed.
