The available photographs were dated 1937, 1952, 1963, 1975, and 1983. Two additional photographs, dated October 1998 and September 2008, were obtained from the San Joaquin County District Viewer. In the 1937 photo, the Site appears to be used primarily for irrigated pasture or row crops. An area near the center of the southern property line appears to be vineyard. An irrigation canal crosses the Site from northwest to southeast, and a second canal runs along the western side of the southern property line. Surrounding properties are agricultural land, orchards, vineyards, and rural residences. In the 1952 photo, an area near the center of the Site and an area on the western side of the Site appear to be orchard. No other significant changes are apparent. In the 1963 photo, the remaining open areas on the western half of the Site have been planted with orchard. The eastern half appears to be vineyard. The irrigation canal along the southern property line can no longer be seen. In the 1975 photo, the irrigation canal crossing the Site can no longer be seen. No other significant changes are apparent. In the 1983 photo, no significant changes are apparent. In the 1998 photo, a residence, shop, and swimming pool can-be seen near the center of the western half of the Site. LOGE 1108 Page 2
