Caption: Sign at the Site of Tule Lake Shoreline
Additional Description: This was the shoreline of Tule Lake in 1872-73. The Modoc Indians occupying the Stronghold obtained water at this point.

Once nearly 100,000 acres, the lake was drained between 1912 and 1958 to make fertile land available for homesteads.
