A. LOOKING EASTWARD FROM FORESTED SUMMIT OF THE SIERRA ANCHA. 



A suggestion of the contrasts to be found within a relatively short distance. The blistering 

 desert plains and buttes appear to be scarcely more than a stone's throw from the cool 

 pine woods.

B. ROOSEVELT LAKE. THE SIERRA ANCHA IN THE DISTANCE. 



The shores of the lake are too stony and their descent too abrupt to permit of the existence 

 of any marsh land. Desert vegetation extends quite to the water's edge.
