The photographs were dated 1937, 1952, 1963, and 9975. Two additional photographs, dated 1998 and September 2008, were obtained from the San Joaquin County District Viewer. In the 1937 photo, the Site appears to be used for a dry crop such as oats or hay. The natural topography of the Site is evident. A meandering stream can be seen along the northern side of the Site. Surrounding properties appear to be unused or used for similar dry crops. In the 1952 photo, the Site appears unused. The surrounding properties to the west, east, and south have been graded and are now used for irrigated pasture, rice, or row crops. In the 1963 photo, two small roads, possibly cattle paths, can be seen on the Site. The ' property to the north now appears to be used for rice production. In the 1975 photo, structures are apparent on the properties to the north and west. Surrounding properties remain in agricultural use. Only traces remain of the roads or cattle paths on the Site. In the 1998 photo, it appears that the stream crossing the Site has been rerouted into a / canal along the northern Site boundary. The residential streets to the south and southwest are apparent, as well as several rural residences in this area. LOGE0913 Page 2
