Several years ago I came across a CE Watkins photo from the 1800?s. It was labeled ?Courtney Lakes Nevada County California.?
Pretty scene, but I?d never heard of Courtney Lakes, nor had anyone else. Yesterday I was playing around in Google Earth looking at various lakes from different angles, and Voila! there it was! Only, it was Culbertson Lake. Checked a Topo from 1891, it said Culbertson. Whether the name changed, or Watkins just got it wrong, who knows.
Anyway, I went up there today and found the spot. Same foreground rocks, but the lake was very low and the lighting should have been late afternoon. Oh well.
So here is the original, and today?s ANA. Hope it?s OK to include both.
