Description:
Plate 1412X. Hurricane Cliffs 1909 – 2006 Viewed east-northeast to the Hurricane Cliffs from east of New Harmony, Utah. Horse Ranch Mountain (8,726 ft) is on the skyline. Pinyon and juniper now block the original photopoint, so the retake was made from the nearest open area, which is a cleared agricultural field. Pinyon, juniper, and oakbrush have all increased. New buildings have been constructed. Plates 1412x and 1413x form a panorama.
