Synopsis 



Very little change is apparent in 

 the retaken photographs. The 

 original photopoint has been 

 disturbed slightly due to devel- 

 opment on the hillside near the 

 Buffalo Bill monument. An 

 electric line has been gone since 

 1959. Melilotus officinalis and 

 Agropyron cristatum have in- 

 vaded the disturbed hillside in 

 the foreground. As for mountain 

 vegetation, there has been a 

 minor increase in conifer den- 

 sity in some areas but a larger 

 reduction near the left center of 

 the photo. The "C" in the middle 

 of the picture (representing the 

 town of Cody) can be seen as 

 early as 1959.
