The area is now part of an up-scale housing development and the original photopoint has been destroyed by construction. Conifers, pinyon, juniper, and oakbrush have all increased, while aspen has declined. Note the new road cut on the shoulder of Lone Tree Mountain - - photo right-center skyline, which is the photopoint for Plates 1322x, 1323x, 1326x, and 1327x. Plates 1324x and 1325x form a panorama.
