Zedds Meadow
1953
1999
Description:
Plate 77. ZEDDS MEADOW: 1953 - 1999 The aspen (Populus tremuloides) in the foreground of the 1953 photo increased in height to block visibility from that photo point. The 1999 photo was taken approximately 100 feet south, which slightly alters the perspective. Utah Highway 25 is visible in the 1999 photo whereas it wasn’t in 1953. Conifers are more abundant in the 1999 photo than in 1953, but aspen declined. Some aspen near the 1999 photo point have regenerated, but most have not.
