Photographer: Douglass Halvorsen
Taken: October 6, 2012
Caption: View of Captain Jack's Stronghold
Additional Description: This view of the Stronghold illustrates just how barren and rough the terrain here was during the Modoc War. In the far distance where you see crop lands would have been filled by Tule Lake, its water's edges once reached right up to the edge of the Stronghold. The National Reclamation Act of 1902 was the beginning of major changes in the landscape and the receding of lake levels in order for the region to be irrigated and converted into homesteads and agricultural use. Tule Lake is now one-quarter the size it once was.
